Li Tian Zodiac

Thinking flashed across Duan Xuehuai's eyes: This is not where he usually sleeps, and the person in front of him is definitely not someone from his palace.

Without it, because this place is really...too dilapidated, Duan Xuehuai felt disgusted in his heart, even the most dilapidated place in his palace was definitely not to this extent.

As for this person, Duan Xuehuai looked carefully again, and he found that this person had short hair.

If someone with such a face and hairstyle were in his palace, he would be able to recognize him.

What seems to have happened yesterday?Trying to think back, Duan Xuehuai's memory door was opened: last night, after dealing with all the things as usual, I felt a little tired, so I seemed to go to the hot spring pool for a while, and then I got a little dizzy, so I put on my clothes Screened off, everyone planned to go to the garden to have a good time...

And after that?He tried hard to think back, and his delicate brows were almost tied into a knot.

Later, I seemed to be walking around, vaguely as if I followed someone all the way back, and then...

Yes, he remembered, he seemed to be in a daze, followed someone to this room, and then suddenly felt very sleepy, so he fell asleep on the bed with his clothes on, and slept until now.

There are formations in each palace that can be teleported, but opening them requires strict requirements, and there are special people guarding them.

It is adjacent to the palaces of the Twelve Palaces of the Heavenly Palace, not far but definitely not close. If he wants to go to other palaces, unless he unconsciously triggers the formation...

But how is it possible?Duan Xuehuai, who had thought about it clearly, suddenly broke out in cold sweat. He froze his body and dared not move. He only felt that the young man holding him was the incarnation of some kind of monster.

Who is this person?Why would I do these things inexplicably?

As far as his own strength is concerned, even if he is careless and degenerates into such a childish appearance, who in the world does not know how powerful he is from the five princes of the Twelve Palaces of Litian, his attacks are like wind and thunder, and everyone in the world is afraid .

But I actually act like a child, acting like a baby to keep warm...

Thinking of the childish words that the person in front of him said yesterday when coaxing him, and how he coquettishly flung himself into the other's arms, Duan Xuehuai's expression fluctuated, it seemed to be angry, or... shy?

No, no, this is not the emotion she should have, Duan Xuehuai ignored the strange but familiar emotion in her heart, telling herself over and over again, don't be careless.

"..." It was still early at this time, and the person hugging him to sleep seemed to be waking up, his eyelashes fluttered a few times, and then opened, Duan Xuehuai immediately closed his eyes.

It seemed that it was already morning, it was time to go to work, Shen Changling opened his eyes, and yawned sleepily.

Immediately, as if he had thought of something, he didn't dare to move his arms, and looked down at the person in his arms.

The child was sleeping sweetly, his eyelashes were slightly curled, his small nose was pressed against his chest, and his breath and breath were very even, obviously sleeping soundly.

It's so cute. It's so beautiful to see it when I wake up in the morning. I don't know whose child is so smart. Shen Changling is more and more afraid to move. He seems to have realized that those parents in the past are always Everyone wants to show off their children's ideas.

If I had such a lovely child, I would probably be like this now, even if I need to get up, I don't want to disturb him.

However, Shen Changling took a look at the sky outside, and through the slightly open window, he could already get a general idea of ​​the scenery outside, and there were people on duty at night already shuttling back and forth on the stone bridge not far away.

He looked down at the child in his arms again. This child was good-looking, and the clothes on his body were also high-quality. It didn't look like a child of a servant living in the garden, but more like a "people from over there".

They are located in a remote place. If the Twelve Palaces of Litian are compared to a country, then the Eleventh Palace is a remote city, and his place is probably a small village, so for people from other palaces, here The people here are always jokingly referred to as "the people over there", because no matter where they are, they are all superior to their "people here".

Perhaps some young master accidentally ran here, and I don't know if his parents will worry about him after this night?

Shen Changling, who was thinking like this, hadn't noticed that the eyes of the child in his arms who he thought was snoozing were trembling uneasily.

What the hell is this man doing?Why is he clearly awake, but still motionless? What is he looking at?

Duan Xuehuai was flustered for a moment, he didn't know how to respond, so he tried his best to restrain himself, pretending to be still asleep, but Shen Changling still noticed the sudden chaotic breathing.

"Well, where is this place? Why am I here?" Afraid of being found pretending to be asleep, Duan Xuehuai slowly opened his eyes, acting as if he had just woken up from sleepiness.

He carefully withdrew his hand, rubbed his eyes as a gesture, and gently wiped away the tears that flowed from yawning with his clenched hands.

"You're awake! Actually, I don't know why you are here, probably... you accidentally sleepwalked here at night. Don't be afraid, it's not a big problem." I didn't expect the child to respond to this Knowing nothing, Shen Changling let go of his arms and asked him to get up, racking his brains to think of such an excuse.

The faint morning light shines through the window, lightly and softly sprinkled on the smiling young boy's face, his body seems to have a detached indifference and calmness, his smile is shallow and warm, and he is making a gesture of rubbing his hands. Duan Xuehuai's eyes froze.

This person, why is this person's smile so warm, so familiar...

Since that time, everything has changed, and he has changed from a handsome young man to this, and everyone has suffered unimaginable injuries.

He thought that he would always maintain a state of despair and live on, yes, for him now, it would be a torture and a blow to be forever trapped in the appearance of a child!

However, this person who appeared suddenly made him feel a feeling he hadn't felt for a long time, it was a feeling as if he was still alive.

"Hug..." Thinking of this, Duan Xuehuai unconsciously reacted as a child should. He seemed to have returned to the young age of seven or eight years old in an instant, stretching out his hand with his mouth puffed out.

Stared at by such black and clear eyes, there was a trace of grievance unconsciously in the eyes, Shen Changling felt that his heart was about to melt, he quickly hugged the child in his arms, and gently coaxed the child.

I was still scared, this child should be well protected by his family, suddenly woke up in a strange place, and then unexpectedly asked him, a stranger, for comfort, he was really a little wary.

Constantly patting the child in his arms, Shen Changling felt a little bit of hatred for the parents of the child he had never met, but he didn't notice the calm and gentle look in the eyes of the child he thought was pure and timid in his arms. A thoughtful look.

That is definitely not the look a child in his early ten years should have...

"Okay, okay, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person." Gently coaxing the child, Shen Changling continued, "I am a servant of the eleventh house, and this is where I am on duty. You should be I accidentally ran here at night, now it's dawn, you have to go home quickly, or your parents should be in a hurry..."

"I don't have parents..." Suddenly, Shen Chang heard the child in his arms reply in a low voice, then he shrank his head into his arms and explained more clearly, "I don't have parents. "

The short-haired boy was stunned for a moment, he suddenly had mixed feelings in his heart, and countless guesses flooded his mind, the words just reached his throat but he swallowed them again.

Was it an orphan?No wonder he still grasped everything around him uneasily in his sleep, and shrunk himself into a ball, which was an expression of extreme insecurity.

"Don't be afraid, my brother doesn't have parents either. If you have anything to do in the future, you can come to me." Not knowing what to say, Shen Changling had no choice but to hold the child in his arms tightly and persuade him.

"Hmm." As if he was ashamed to see others, the child in his arms buried his head deeper, and after he gave an uneasy hum, he hid himself under the quilt.

Really, so warm...

The wind became cooler, and the exquisite palace lanterns hung on the long corridor, and were carefully replaced—they were hung up again when they were relit at night. Twelve-color glass pieces were inlaid on them, but they would not overwhelm the guests. Even if the utensils are in modern times, they are rare and good products. Shen Changling can't help but marvel at the craftsmanship of the craftsmen at this time.

After he bid farewell to the child early in the morning, he was transferred to work here by the supervisor - it seems that he has some experience of returning from overseas, so after the inspection period, he can do some slightly technical things, such as organizing library.

This is a book collection pavilion in the Eleventh Palace. The entire Eleventh Palace is not small in size and has a large collection of books. Naturally, this room is not the only one. It is said that the ones in other places are more important, and the guards are all well-educated.

Although he has never been very clear about the relationship between guarding the library and his ability to read, but at this stage, it is naturally out of reach for someone like him.

However, after cleaning up, Shen Changling stood on the jade floor, looked at the neatly arranged books all around, and smiled with satisfaction.

Now this situation is exactly what I want, just to get acquainted with this era...

So, when the fallen leaves fell with the wind outside the promenade and the birds were flying, the short-haired boy was busy with everything and sat there quietly reading books.

Winding back to the corridor, a fallen leaf gently slapped on the floor and was picked up by someone.

"Are you working here?" A voice suddenly sounded, breaking the silence at this moment.

Shen Changling looked up and saw that it was the child who said goodbye this morning. He closed the book in surprise and stood up: "Why are you here? Are you here to read?"

Yes, a child of this age should still be studying, no matter who he came here with, he should not be able to escape the spell of learning.

"No, I'm here to look for you." The child seemed a little uneasy and guilty, with his head lowered, his hands behind his back, and his toes unconsciously rubbing against the ground.

The author has something to say: Duan Xuehuai: Welcome to the face-slapping scene!

Shen Changling: Actually, you are quite cute~

Duan Xuehuai (eyes wide open): Really, really? yooooooo~
