Yan Fei

A light suddenly appeared in the lonely and dark night sky.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds and thousands of lights all rose into the sky together, weaving a light net that filled the sky, enveloping thousands of living beings under the fireworks in this world.

So Yan Zi raised his eyes and looked at the blindfolded Xu Zhiming.

The more dazzling the surroundings were, the more he could not see Xu Zhiming clearly, could not understand Xu Zhiming.

He was the first to fall in love, and he was the first to speak. Even if Xu Zhiming agreed, the two of them wouldn't be able to "respect each other as guests" and "raise eyebrows together" in just a few months.But Xu Zhiming seemed to be standing stubbornly and indifferently behind a thin layer of screen paper, unable to see or touch, neither saying nor doing anything.They looked like this when they met in Qizhou, and they looked like this for almost a year.

Although Xu Zhiming was also impulsive for him, it only made him a little more suspicious.He couldn't figure out whether it was Xu Zhiming's intention or he did it on purpose.

But after calming down and summarizing, Yan Zi still did what he said at the beginning: he likes Xu Zhiming, that's why he didn't dare to think about it.

At this moment, the two of them are separated by a sky lantern made by mortals and lit by mortals. He is like an ordinary man who is still in the mortal world. The family and such a person named Xu Zhiming are under the fragile flesh and bones.

However, Xu Zhiming is like a smoke that has never melted into the world.

When Yan Zi came back to his senses, he felt light in his hands, the sky lantern had been lifted up by Xu Zhiming, and flew into those daylight lights.

Yan Zi's heart tightened, he suddenly grabbed Xu Zhiming's hand, and said softly, "Don't leave."

Xu Zhiming didn't respond: "What?"

Yan Zi repeated: "Don't leave."

But then he didn't answer Xu Zhiming's questions and led him to the Chi Mansion.

This sky lantern Xu Zhiming promised nothing.There are things that make him happier now.

The street outside Chifu is much more lively than when Chi Shu was a child. Although Wutong Mansion is not short of money now, there are still poor families.Chi Shu said that if someone came to sell some gadgets, just take it, if the food was inspected, they would be distributed to the servants, and if they were playing, they would be distributed to their children.Ever since this rule was established, the facade of the Chi Mansion has a human touch during the holidays, and the streets outside have gradually become more crowded.

When Yan Zi dragged Xu Zhiming to the gate of the Chi Mansion, Xu Yelan and the others had just entered. The door of the Chi Mansion was still open, and there was a big man standing beside the door. He was still shirtless in winter, revealing his gnarled muscles and several scars. .But the people of Wutong Mansion were not afraid when they saw him, instead they greeted him warmly.

When Yan Zi stepped up the stone steps, she also stopped to exchange a few words with him.

The big man said: "Come to get the account book for the leader?"

Yan Zi nodded: "Yes. He doesn't plan to come back this year."

"There are a lot of things in the alliance, so it's only natural that the leader doesn't return to Chi Mansion... Old lady, why are you so polite..."

Seeing that he was too busy, Yan Zi went to greet others in the middle of talking with herself, so she went into the mansion.

They were going to stay in Wutong Mansion for a few days, Yan Zi asked his servant to lead Xu Zhiming and the others to their respective guest rooms, and then followed the accountant to pick up the brochures.There was always a lot of money going in and out of Chi's house, so he had to match it several times before bringing it to Chi Shu.

Speaking of which, Chi Shu lived a happy life in the muddy water, but he had to bury his head in his study to settle the old accounts of Chen Zhima and rotten millet... How did he get into the boat of that beast, Chi Shu?

There are many people in Chi's house, and some accountants did not report it in time. He had to go out to ask the account in the cold wind. When he returned to the study, he met a young man who came out of Xu Zhiming's room. His face was hurried and his hands were put together. What was wrong, he immediately stood behind the pillar and did not pass.Not long after, another girl came and stood outside the house to take good care of herself before stepping in the door. When she came out, she was holding a bird with a sharp beak in her hand. She walked carefully to the porch and put it away. leave.

Yan Zi narrowed his eyes.

Although he didn't come to Chi Mansion many times, he had never seen this girl before.

He pursed his lips, and went back to the study with the account book and scroll in his arms.

The accountant wanted to compare with him again, and it would be good to finish the comparison today, but when he entered the room, Yan Zi's face obviously changed a lot. The accountant was frightened when he saw it, thinking that he was confused by these figures and accounts. He knocked his head over and over his face, and hurriedly told him to go to have a good rest.

Yan Zi nodded, ordered the accounts reconciled today, went out and went back to the house.

Xu Zhiming sat in the room till night, and still didn't wait for Yan Zi to come back, so he called his servants to inquire, only to learn that the lights in Yan Zi's room had already been turned off to rest.

Although Xu Zhiming didn't say anything, he just lay down, but after turning off the light, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep anyway—he was already a little used to lying next to someone.

He had already taken off the crow-feather-like jet-black belt, and lifted his eyelids to reveal some dim red eyes, but compared to the previous calmness, now he was a little more restless.

What Yan Zi didn't know was that Xu Zhiming had always thought highly of himself, and he couldn't tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes—whether it hindered him from doing business or living.

Just now when he realized the influence Yan Zi had on him, the alarm bells in his heart rang out, and in his panic, he wanted to find Liu Yue to calm his mind.

But in retrospect, during these months when Yan Zi was away, as long as he was in the Yan Department, no matter how late he worked, Yan Zi would definitely come back to his room to rest with him.On weekdays, once he was free, he would come to accompany me, and it seemed that getting used to it was not a terrible thing.

After all, love each other, sooner or later you have to get used to it.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhiming heaved a sigh of relief.

He put on a coat, got up and went outside.Seeing him going out, the girl waiting in the corridor hurriedly stepped forward to serve him, and met his almost transparent eyes, she was so startled that she couldn't move.

Yan Zi has seen Xu Zhiming's eyes, which are extremely calm and gentle, but at this moment, he is like a fierce lion, a tiger waiting for an opportunity to bite its prey in the bushes, with dark currents in his eyes , full of hostility, just one glance can make people feel that this person has some deep hatred against him.

Xu Zhiming asked, "Where is Mr. Yan?"

The girl tremblingly pointed him to the door of the Moon Cave, she didn't even respond to Xu Zhiming's thank you, she just stood there for a long while in a daze, then she came back and remembered to lead him the way.But when she turned her head, Xu Zhiming was no longer in the yard.

Yan Zi was not in the same courtyard as him and Xu Yelan.The Chi Mansion occupies a large area, and there are many courtyards, and the roads in the mansion are intricate. Chi Shu has designated two yards for Yan Zi and his girls in the Yan tribe. Xu Zhiming asked about Xiaoqiao all the way, but met Ganu who was told by Yan Zi to put it in the yard on the way.

Ganu headed back to this kind of place, unfamiliar with the place, Yan Zi and Xu Zhiming were both missing, they were buried in the grass and whining aggrievedly, when they saw Xu Zhiming coming, they hurriedly sat down, and just wanted to sway up with a face , Seeing his eyes suddenly quieted down again.

"Swallow, does swallow understand?" Xu Zhiming patted its thick fur face, "Smell it."

Ganu has heard Xu Zhiming's "swallow long swallow" and "swallow short" many times over the past few months, so he naturally understands it, so he took him there.

It's strange to say that when Yan Zi and Ganu were together, Ganu always looked dumbfounded, but now it's like "the prodigal son turned back" all of a sudden. Only then will there be breath.

In Yanzi's courtyard, there are no servants, no girls, not even a girl from the Yan family, the courtyard is so quiet that there is no sound at all.

Xu Zhiming pulled the hair on Ganu's neck: "Stay outside and don't let anyone in. Even if you see a familiar face, you are not allowed to enter."

Ganu walked around outside the moon cave door, then lay down cross-legged on the spot, his huge body blocked the small doorway tightly.

The yard that Chi Shu had planned for Yan Zi should have been arranged by him himself. Although the yard was not dilapidated, there were a lot of weeds. It could be seen that he did not allow anyone to enter at will.There is a small pool of water in the yard, and a small pavilion next to it. Instead of a chessboard tea table like ordinary people, there are two rows of bird racks in the pavilion.Now that the weather is getting cooler, the pavilion is surrounded by hanging curtains to keep out the wind, so that the swallows nesting inside can sleep peacefully.

When Xu Zhiming came in, he came in very softly, and the soles of his shoes never made a sound when they rubbed against the slate.When he came to the door, he showed a little bit of embarrassment. He raised his hand several times to knock on the door but put it down again.

"What am I doing here?" he thought.

"I'm just so hypocritical... Can't leave him so much?"
