Yan Fei

Xu Zhiming grew up so big, it was the first time he felt like a girl.

He stood stupidly outside the door for a while, and then slowly sat down on the stone steps leaning on the pillar.

When he was in Kunzhou, when he was going to look for Yan Zi to ask about the deceased, Yan Zi collapsed under the stone steps on the snowy ground.

He was pale and light, not like a mortal, but like a banished fairy, his silver threads and fair skin were indistinguishable from that of snow, and in that scene, every breath and breath involved his emotions.

Xu Zhiming wrung his fingers and sat in the cold wind for most of the night before slowly standing up again.

At this moment, his eyes were not very clear, maybe he had been staring at the stone slab illuminated brightly by the moonlight for a long time, and it hurt intermittently.He closed his eyes, turned around and pushed the door.

Unexpectedly, Yan Zi didn't lock the latch, the door opened as soon as he pushed it, and the wooden boards that hadn't been refurbished for a long time creaked and dragged for a long time. In front of him, his whole body was tense, his face was guarded, and he held a blade with two fingers.

Seeing that it was Xu Zhiming, Yan Zi breathed a sigh of relief, threw the blade away, and his back immediately collapsed: "What are you doing here, why don't you rest at this late hour?"

"I... I can't sleep," Xu Zhiming said, "I came to look for you."

Yan Zi seemed unhappy: "Why, you can sleep after you find me?"

Xu Zhiming nodded: "It seems... yes."

Yan Zi was so choked by him that he turned around and looked him up and down in the moonlight, before sighing: "Are you only three years old this year... Go and lie down on the bed, I'll come after I wash up."

He closed the door, washed his face with cold water, took off his blouse, returned to the bed, and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Xu Zhiming sat at the end of the bed, leaned against the bedpost and closed his eyes, Yan Zi leaned on the other side and watched him drink a cup of tea, only then did he realize that Xu Zhiming had fallen asleep.

His heart, which had been aching because of the two scenes he had seen before, suddenly softened again.

Yan Zi went to fetch Xu Zhiming, put him on the bed, put down the bed curtain, lay down beside him again, and covered him with the quilt.

In the dimness, Yan Zi carefully looked at every inch of the man's face, cautiously tentatively embraced him, and finally heaved a long sigh of relief, buried it on his chest and fell asleep.

Xu Zhiming's body always has a faint smell that makes him sleepless, and that smell can even evoke the fire and blood that have been burned in his mind for a long time.

At this moment, he was sleeping peacefully with this person in his arms.

All he wanted at the moment was this man.

Early the next morning, when Xu Zhiming got up, there was only a little warmth left on the quilt beside him to tell him that Yan Zi had indeed shared the bed with him last night.

His blindfold was placed beside the pillow, and one of the windows in the room had been opened, so it wasn't cold but not too stuffy either.

Xu Zhiming took the tape, went to the window and looked at the pavilion in the courtyard, the curtains were also pulled up, the swallows in the pavilion should have been let out by Yan Zi, the bird stand was empty.Ganu was nowhere to be seen at the gate of the courtyard, probably because Yan Zi sent him away early in the morning.

He tied the straps and went out.

Outside Yanzi's courtyard is the residence of the Yanbu girls. The girls go back to sleep at night, but they still have to guard during the day.Several girls in the yard were gathering together to discuss which store had a good reputation, when Xu Zhiming walked out of Yan Zi's yard, calmly but slowly walking along the stone road.

"...Did I read it right, that is Master Xu...?"

"...We probably misunderstood Young Master in the past. It should be Young Master Xu who wanted to drag Young Master to sleep with him."

Xu Zhiming: "..."

Xu Yelan had already sat down in the dining room, and he took away half of the food on the table.After Xu Zhiming took his seat, the girl who was waiting at the side turned and went to the back, and after a while, a plump cook lady came out, carrying a food box, and placed it in front of Xu Zhiming.

"……This is?"

The cook said: "Young Master Yan ordered you to prepare this for a young master with a black belt."

Seeing that it was really fresh, Xu Yelan leaned over and opened the food box for him.Inside is a bowl of porridge with preserved egg and lean pork sprinkled with chopped green onions, and a plate of small and exquisite steamed dumplings next to it.

Xu Yelan said: "Hey, is he still worried that the wound on your shoulder hasn't healed? The meals he prepared for you a few months ago will fade away."

"That's not true," said the cook, "Mr. Yan said that you were not in good spirits yesterday, so it's enough to eat light food with a little taste and then prepare some more. Old lady, I saw that it was true. You should listen to Yan. Son."

Xu Zhiming drove away Xu Yelan who couldn't get enough of the fun, took a spoon and scooped the entrance.

In the past few months, he has been bedridden due to injuries. Although it is inconvenient to move, it can be regarded as a great help in some respects.Yan Zi and him are suddenly far away and close, and when they are close, they are suddenly distant, but after they are really separated, they will come back aggrievedly, it is really hard to see through.He doesn't know how much this situation will affect Yan Zi, but the impact on him is really... big.

Last night he tossed and turned in his own room and couldn't sleep, but when he arrived at Yanzi's room, he immediately closed his eyes and went to see Duke Zhou, which is the strongest proof.

Unsuspectingly, he let Yan Zi integrate into his life.

Yan Zi also understood him more and more.

Xu Zhiming doesn't like to drink sticky things like porridge, but the porridge with preserved egg and lean meat is an exception, especially the one sprinkled with chopped green onion.And steamed dumplings are also what he likes to use to fill his stomach after a meal if he is still not full.

He ate a few mouthfuls without taste, and shouted: "Brother."

Xu Yelan glanced at him: "What?"

"Where's Yan Zi?"

"Mr. Yan went out early in the morning, saying that there are account books outside to compare."

"...Brother, I want to visit Queying Bridge."

Xu Yelan stood to eat, and said: "What are you doing at Queying Bridge? I just went out this morning, and Queying Bridge is still blocked at the moment."

"It's nothing..." Xu Zhiming shook his head and frowned, "It's just that Yan Zi was there last night... It seems that there is something I care about. I want to go there once."

"It's really nothing if you insist on going there... It's just that there are so many people. I heard that it was blocked until now when the festival opened. They are all old girls and old men. There are also some young students who want to go there to try their luck. This It’s inconvenient to take you there because all the waves are crowded inside. Even if you go out of the Queying Bridge, turn left once, then go to the right and you’ll be there.”

Xu Zhiming pondered what Xu Yelan said, and felt something was wrong: "What is it near the Queying Bridge?"

Xu Yelan said: "It's nothing...it's just a Taoist temple. I heard that it is very effective to seek marriage and marriage. There is another one. Praying for oneself is not effective, but praying for the sweetheart is effective. Looking at Xiao Tieluo, he wants to recruit again. There are a lot of boudoir women who go to pray for their husbands... Yes, I thought that there would not be so many people, so it is really not surprising."

Xu Zhiming's heart moved, and he said, "Brother, take me to join in the fun."

Xu Yelan said disgustedly: "You are a blind man, why are you joining in the fun?"

"You know I can see it."

Xu Yelan couldn't resist him, waved his hand and walked to the door: "Okay, I can't compete with you, let's go."

When the sun was setting, the outside of the Chi Mansion was still relatively free, but suddenly there were more people walking around this street, so Xu Yelan had to lead Xu Zhiming along the street.

Xu Zhiming walked unsteadily, and had to take off the belt when he had no choice but to squint his eyes because he couldn't see the light. After walking for half a stick of incense, he reached the threshold in front of the temple.

In the temple, a Taoist priest is standing by the door to greet many good men and women. After entering, the descendants are divided into three groups. Those who go to the left are for marriage, those who go to the right are for high school, and those who go forward are for peace.

Xu Zhiming rested by the door and waited for Xu Yelan to ask and come back.

His eyes hurt so badly that he couldn't open his eyelids, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his legs were inexplicably weak after walking all this way.

When Xu Yelan came back, he was so big that he didn't see what was wrong with Xu Zhiming: "I've asked, the marriage is Miss Taoxiang, the high school is Wenquxing, and Ping An is Yan Luohao."

"Why is it Yan Luohao?" Xu Zhiming asked, "Yan Luohao sounds like he is from the underworld...Go ahead."

Xu Yelan helped Xu Zhiming go in, and went all the way to Yan Luohao's palace: "You don't know, it is said that Yan Luohao has gone through three generations and three tribulations of the Great Immortal of the Underworld, and his soul is immortal. gone."

"What kind of legend is this... why is it so weird." Once inside the room, Xu Zhiming's eyes also improved, and he was finally able to open them.

There is no statue in the hall, only a big character with Yan Luohao hanging in the middle.

"I don't know," Xu Yelan said, "I just heard from the Taoist nun in the Taoist temple that, excluding Wenquxing, Lady Taoxiang and Yan Luohao only emerged in Minghan in recent years... Maybe they came from foreign countries."
