Kaifeng Bistro

After that, he stood up and said to Tan Zhifeng: "Zhifeng, I'm going back to Kaifeng Mansion to be on duty in the afternoon, so I'm leaving first..."

Before he finished speaking, Bai Yutang said: "I don't want to go back with you, I want to stay and talk to Zhifeng."

"Okay." Zhan Zhao seemed to have expected Bai Yutang's reaction a long time ago. He nodded, left the table and walked towards the cashier. After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned his head and said to them, "By the way, Yutang, we We're leaving, why don't you take Zhifeng to play in Kaifeng city. Since he came here, things have happened one after another, I'm afraid he hasn't had a chance to take a good look around the city yet."

"That's great!" Zhuo Zhuo first cheered up: "Can you take us with you?" As she spoke, she pulled the passing Shangshang to her side: "See, the last time this kid went out to play, he went to Sang's Wazi to see him." Corner arrives!"

"What's there to see in Jiaodi?" Bai Yutang became interested after hearing this: "Two days later it happens to be the Cold Food Festival. On this day, both the common people and the dignitaries in the city will go out to enjoy the spring. I must take you out. Look at the spring scenery of Kaifeng!"

Tan Zhifeng also stood up and sent Zhan Zhao outside the door. Zhan Zhao turned to him with a smile and said, "Actually, I just want you to accompany Yutang."

"Now that wars are raging, the court...does nothing," Zhan Zhao sighed softly, "He seems to disdain to discuss these things at all, but in fact... I think he is often troubled by this. Right now, when will we leave the city?" No decision, but every time he comes to you, his mood will always get better..."

Tan Zhifeng looked at Zhan Zhao and smiled: "Brother Zhan, don't worry, I have nothing to do recently anyway, I thought about it, when I am free, not only can Brother Bai take us out for a walk, but also Let him teach me kung fu, so that if we encounter any situation in the northwest in the future, I don't have to use my three-legged cat's kung fu and this poor spiritual power to hide around."

Zhan Zhaoyang smiled, patted Tan Zhifeng on the shoulder, turned and left.Tan Zhifeng turned around and went back to the tavern. There were not many customers in the tavern. Tan Zhifeng walked a few steps forward and heard Zhuo Zhuo talking to Bai Yutang: "...Zhifeng doesn't want to, he doesn't know at all... He even married His mouth is very awkward..." "Yes! Do you think he has lived for so many years in vain?..."

"Huh?" Tan Zhifeng returned to the counter and held up the pink hyacinth that was blooming, and said to Yi Yi: "I always feel that this potted flower should be pruned, what do you think?"

"Cut it." Yi Yi only looked up and said lightly: "I don't have any objection if I cut it all."

"Hey wait, Tan Zhifeng, you can't treat me like this!" Zhuo Zhuo hurriedly stood up, hugged the flower pot and ran upstairs, while running, he winked at Bai Yutang: "Brother Bai, you have to remember the cold food Take us out to play on Christmas Day!"

"That's natural." Bai Yutang raised his wine glass to her with a smile, his heart was filled with joy, he held the flower pot in one hand and blew a kiss to Bai Yutang with the other, and disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

"Brother Bai, don't listen to Zhuo Zhuo's nonsense." Tan Zhifeng quickly pulled out his chair and sat down, "You don't know what she's been thinking about all day..."

"Then, you and Xu Gan..." The last guest also stood up and left. The afternoon sun shone warmly on Tan Zhifeng and Bai Yutang. Bai Yutang was against the sun, and his face looked even more beautiful and charming in the shadows. With a playful look: "...you really haven't tried it once?"

"It's like this..." To be honest, Tan Zhifeng did not reject discussing this topic with Bai Yutang, but the reason why he didn't know how to answer it was not because Zhuo Zhuo's words were completely out of her imagination, but because what Zhuo Zhuo said was all fact.

"I...I don't know." He sighed, and finally gave up trying to choose a better way of expression: "Zhuo Zhuo is right, I thought there should always be such a day, but...but..."

"But you're still a little scared," Bai Yutang smiled and leaned forward, "Isn't it?"

"This may be called... the fear of the unknown." Tan Zhifeng came to a conclusion for himself.At this moment, Shangshang passed by them, and Tan Zhifeng hurriedly sent him off: "Go to the next door and see if Xu Gan or Ling'er need something to eat."

Changshang let out an "oh", turned and left.Bai Yutang took the opportunity to whisper a few words into Tan Zhifeng's ear, and Tan Zhifeng blushed immediately, and he stammered for a long time before replying: "When, of course, I saw it all when I was transformed. But, I didn't Think about that."

"It doesn't matter." Bai Yutang smiled, put his arms around Tan Zhifeng's shoulder and patted lightly: "I won't talk too much, Xu Gan will teach you sooner or later."

Changshang glanced at the mysterious Bai Yutang and Tan Zhifeng in bewilderment, opened the door and walked into the next room.The light in the room was a bit dim, Ling'er seemed to have woken up, Xu Gan asked him to sit opposite to him, and a black dark light floated up and down between the two of them.

Seeing that Changshang was coming, Xu Gan took back the ray of light and said to Changshang, "Where is Zhifeng?"

"Oh, he...he was chatting with Big Brother Bai, talking about '...the fear of the unknown'..." Shangshang shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand.Xu Yan didn't say much when he heard the words, but said: "Okay, you can take Ling'er to play in the courtyard."

"Okay." Changshang said as he walked over, took Ling'er's hand, and helped him get off the bed. He looked at Xu Gan, and asked hesitantly, "Ling'er...are you okay?"

"I'm much better." Ling'er replied, turning her head and smiling at him: "Come on, let's go out to bask in the sun."

After the two children left, only Xu Gan sat silently for a while, then got up and walked to the window.Looking out of the window, Ling'er was sitting on the swing under the tree, clutching the rope tightly, being pushed by Shangshang to fly to the sky again and again.Amidst their laughter, Xu Gan raised his hand again, and the small ball of black air was gradually turning into a flame-like crimson color...

After nightfall, Tan Zhifeng opened the window a little more, but he still felt that the room was a bit stuffy - it was obviously only late spring, but he felt that summer had already arrived early.Xu Gan and the two children on the small bed next to him had already fallen asleep. When he returned to the bed, he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and got up, ran to the backyard, and checked all kinds of bacon, ham, and pickles.But after returning to the house, he still didn't feel sleepy at all.

"If you don't sleep, don't sleep." He simply lay on the bed and began to think about the past.Fortunately, in the long past, countless things happened, some were profound, some were vague, but those related to Ying Long, no matter how long it had been, he didn't seem to have forgotten it at all.

But this time, for some reason, all the images that came to his mind were scenes that he had never thought about before—it was also the spring of Yangliu Yiyi, the smiling face of the girl in front of the green cottage was gentle and shy, and the two of them walked in, arm in arm. In the tent, he realized that he should go as far away as before, but that time, he somehow drifted into the tent with the evening wind, hid behind the curtain, and watched the two young figures... He closed his eyes. When he closed his eyes, those pictures still floated vividly before his eyes. The boy in tulle walked towards the bed step by step in the flickering candlelight. His waist was so slender that he couldn't hold it; the gorgeous clothes of the foreign girl Another one fell like petals on the soft and thick carpet, and the bells on her ankles rang, like a mountain spring gurgling down the mountain stream; In the dressing box, she lazily put on a long robe to cover her white and plump shoulders... Tan Zhifeng never realized that he could remember every person and every face so clearly...

Finally, he finally felt drowsy, but it seemed that the deep drowsiness could only control his limbs, but not his mind. He realized that the person lying in the tent had become himself, and his throat was thirsty, and he Seeing his long light brown hair entangled with his familiar long jet black hair and spread out beside his hands, he was panicked and frightened. He closed his eyes again, feeling that his body was about to burn Woke up.

"Zhifeng, Zhifeng!" Tan Zhifeng was startled suddenly, he opened his eyes, Xu Gan lit a lamp, sat beside him and looked at him worriedly: "What's wrong with you?"

Tan Zhifeng turned over and sat up, panting heavily: "I...I don't know either." He stammered.

Xu Gan gently wiped his forehead with his sleeve: "You sweat a lot."

"I...how about I go take a shower." Tan Zhifeng got out of bed in a panic.What Xu Gan said was right, his body was already soaked in the sweat that flowed out just now.

He hadn't put on his shoes yet, but Xu Gan stretched out his hand and grabbed him from behind: "Come back, let me have a look."

Tan Zhifeng turned around slowly and sat back on the bed. The evening wind from the window made his clothes cool, and he calmed down a lot.

"I'm fine," he said.

Xu Gan blew out the lamp and put it on the bedside, then he half-kneeled and half-sat by the bed and looked down at Tan Zhifeng, as if examining him.Tan Zhifeng leaned against the head of the bed nervously: "I, I'm really fine."

"En." Xu Gan continued to help him wipe the sweat off his neck, then looked at him with a half-smile for a while, and said to him, "Your flowering period is coming soon."

"What?" Tan Zhifeng straightened his body all of a sudden: "This, what does this mean, why don't I know?"

The faces of the two were very close at this time, so Xu Gan leaned over and kissed Tan Zhifeng. Tan Zhifeng was still asking vaguely: "I...my flowering period is here...what will happen?"

"I don't know either." Xu Gan sat back and raised his arms to hug him. The two sat close to each other. Xu Gan raised his hand and combed Zhifeng's sticky long hair: "Before, in the Kuizhou Longxi, you will become very clingy, you will surround me and not let me go anywhere. Even when I reincarnate again and again, every time it is your flowering period, I can feel your love Existence, during that time I would close the door, see no one, do nothing, because I knew that someone needed my company."

"Why... I don't remember much, I know that Zhuo Zhuo will have her flowering period every year, but I, I have been incarnate for so many years, I... I have never, never once..." Tan Zhifeng couldn't believe this. fact.However, he felt somewhat relieved, at least, not only because of his conversation with Bai Yutang today or something he remembered, the blooming period of a flower is a natural thing that he has little ability to control .

"Because..." Xu Gan said slowly, "You are different from other flowers. It takes a long, long time to meet your flowering period..."
