"Have you been hiding something from me recently?"

Huai Cangxiong was sitting on a chair, holding a tea bowl, staring deeply at Huai Shuangshu standing below.

"No."

Huai Shuangshu's expression was still as cold as usual, nothing unusual.

"Not the best." Huai Cangxiong snorted coldly, "Go down."

As soon as he walked out of the door, Huai Shuangshu's face darkened in an instant, secretly thinking that it might be because of the succession ceremony, which made people see signs of it.

...

"You're here?!" The beauty was grooming the fur of the beast, looking at the figure approaching not far away, she smiled and greeted Huai Shuangshu.

Huai Shuangshu also nodded and asked slowly, "Where is Sanqing?"

"In the house." The beauty wiped the blood from her hands on the apron.

"Since I came back from the Demon Palace last time, I have been squatting in the room to practice calligraphy every day. It's rare that I didn't go out and run around. I also want to thank you."

Huai Shuangshu only hooked the corners of his mouth, and his usually indifferent expression finally eased at this moment.

Although this place is rarely visited, every time he comes, he feels the most relaxed. He no longer has to worry about expressions and words. It is like a secret treasure, hidden in a small corner of his heart, very quiet and peaceful , do not want to be disturbed by anyone.

"Then go in, that idiot has been waiting for you for the past few days." The beauty smiled at him, then continued to bow her head and start working.

Winter is coming soon, and the prey around here is much less. They need to store up some food to survive this cold winter.

There was a charcoal fire burning in the room, Xiao Sanzheng's face was flushed red, her wrists trembled a little, and a few drops of black magic dripped on the rice paper.

It seemed to be a little hot, and there was dense sweat on his forehead. He wiped it with his hands, and a few marks were instantly smeared on his face.

"Brother Sijun!"

Sensing that someone came in, Xiao Sanqing raised his head, and after realizing that he was holding a pair of books, his round eyes lit up instantly.

"How did you come?!"

There was a bit of malice in Huai Shuangshu's words, "What? You don't want me to come?"

"That's not true! Last time you asked me to leave after reading it, and I didn't even have the time to talk to you!" Xiao Sanqing wrinkled his face, looking a little unhappy.

"Now, you can say enough."

Huai Shuangshu walked over, picked up the word on his desk, and looked at it. He saw that it was scribbled, but at least he drew an outline.

Although the outline needs to be carefully identified to see clearly...

Suddenly seeing a simple villain drawn on the top of the paper, Huai Shuangshu asked strangely, "Who is this?"

"This is you! When I saw you dancing the sword that day, I wanted to draw it!"

Huai Shuangshu shook his head and laughed for a while, and was about to say something, but the beauty pushed open the door and walked in.

"Let's talk about it after dinner, Shuangshu hasn't eaten yet."

Huai Shuangshu nodded slowly.

The beauty's cooking skills have never improved over the years, and there are still meat pieces of different sizes on the table. Today, a vegetarian dish was added, and Huai Shuangshu suspected that it might be for him.

"I wish our little three please four hundred... No, is it four or five years old?" The beauty patted her head, she couldn't remember.

Huai Shuangshu didn't say a word, pretending he didn't hear it.

These years, Sanqing's stature has remained unchanged, and they have celebrated Sanqing's fourth birthday five years ago, and now five years have passed, and they are still celebrating Sanqing's fourth birthday...

"What do you want this year?" Huai Shuangshu put a chopstick of meat into Sanqing's arms.

Xiao Sanqing tilted his head and thought for a while, then suddenly seemed to think of something, and said with joy, "This year my wish is that brother Sijun will come to see me every day."

The smile on Huai Shuangshu's face froze, and he didn't know how to answer.

Seeing his hesitant face, Xiao Sanqing's expression darkened instantly, and his eyes looked a little disappointed.

"Brother Sijun...are you unwilling?"

Huai Shuangshu didn't open his mouth to answer, his face returned to his indifferent look, and the surrounding atmosphere also became stiff because of this episode.

"Okay, okay, brother Sijun is so busy every day, how can he come to accompany you every day."

"Hurry up and eat, the food is getting cold!" In the end, the beauty came out to smooth things over, and the atmosphere eased.

Sanqing, who has always had a good appetite on weekdays, started to lose his appetite today, and the piece of meat he was chewing was almost half a stick behind.

In fact, it's not that Huai Shuangshu is unwilling, but just thinking of the sentence my grandfather asked today, it's like a thorn in Huai Shuangshu's throat, reminding him not to come here again all the time, if he comes again, I will give They bring disaster.

The reason why he came here today is to celebrate Sanqing's birthday on the one hand, and to make Sanqing stop going to the Demon Palace again.

The two finished their lunch with different thoughts. Seeing that they were not in a good mood, the beauty cleared the table and went out.

When Huai Shuangshu saw Sanqing who was buried in silence, he sighed inwardly, took out a small box from his bosom, and handed it to him.

"What is this?" Xiao Sanqing gave him a strange look.

"Open it and have a look." Huai Shuangshu pushed the box forward again.

Xiao Sanqing took it and opened it, and found that it was a few pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes wrapped in white handkerchiefs.

"You...didn't you say you wanted to eat last time?" Huai Shuangshu turned around awkwardly, his ears a little red.

Although the beauty usually doesn't care much about Xiao Sanqing, once it comes to things like going out from here, the beauty is very strict. Even if she goes to Huai Shuangshu on weekdays, she can only go to Huai Shuangshu for a few hours, and she can't stay too long.

Huai Shuangshu is not a curious person, so he doesn't ask too many questions, but Xiao Sanqing once mentioned that the beauty took him to the secular world to buy things, because he was very obedient, so he bought him some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, and then came back here Since then, he has always wanted to eat, but the beauty forbade him to go out again.

Seeing the things in the box, Xiao Sanqing's sad expression instantly lit up, "But, aren't you unable to leave the Demon Realm?"

Huai Shuangshu coughed twice, his face a little embarrassed.

It is true that he cannot leave the Demon Realm, but he sent a letter to Yun Zhou sent by Xianchong, asking him to compete with him outside the Demon Palace. Yun Zhou hated him to the bone and would naturally fight. Let Yunzhou deal with it at will, and buy some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes for Huai Shuangshu if he wins.

Huai Shuangshu still can't forget Yunzhou's expression at that time. He felt that this person was mentally ill, and at the same time felt that this person was belittling him.

They fought for three full hours that day, but Yun Zhou was defeated in the end.

Yun Zhou was so angry that his seven orifices almost smoked, but he was willing to admit defeat and really brought a few pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in the secular world.

"I asked someone to buy it." Huai Shuangshu didn't tell him the truth of the matter, for fear that he would overthink it.

Sure enough, Xiao Sanqing nodded happily when he heard this, and looked at him with bright eyes, "Thank you brother Sijun!"

Huai Shuangshu touched his head, and before he could speak, he saw him holding the wooden box in the next second, and poured those pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake into his mouth in one gulp.

"..."

Huai Shuangshu swallowed back the words on his lips.

When the beauty came back, seeing that they seemed to have reconciled, her expression instantly relaxed.

Seeing Huai Shuangshu standing by the table, the beauty shyly took out a picture scroll from her back.

Huai Shuangshu has never seen her like this before, she is usually generous, with a bit of masculine boldness, but today he is not used to the little woman's attitude.

"That...hehe, Shuangshu, can I ask you to do me a favor."

Huai Shuangshu looked at her strangely, and nodded slowly after a while.

The beauty was overjoyed, and hastily spread out the scroll and spread it on the table.

"I have a painting here. It is a little old and the color is a little faded, so I want you to help me paint it again."

The person in the painting is wearing a black golden robe, with a circling golden dragon embroidered on the back. His hair is untied and loosely scattered behind his head. He is holding a jade flute in his hand, with his eyes slightly closed, as if he is playing softly. The repertoire, that face is very beautiful, and you can see the extraordinary appearance of this person through the painting.

But...how does it look familiar.

"Is it okay?" The beauty asked again tentatively in a low voice.

After hearing this, Huai Shuangshu came back to his senses and nodded hastily. The beauty immediately moved in the ink and wash materials from outside the door happily.

In Huai Shuangshu's spare time, he would paint and practice calligraphy to exercise his state of mind. When he saw the things brought by the beauty, he could tell at a glance that they were not ordinary.

This beautiful aunt can't read a single word on weekdays, so why prepare these things, and their life is not rich on weekdays, these things should have cost them a lot of money.

"Is this person good-looking? Brother Sijun." Xiao Sanqing put his hand on the edge of the table, trying to touch the painting, but was slapped back by the beauty.

Xiao Sanqing touched the back of his hand that was reddened by the slap, and pouted his mouth a little bit aggrieved for a moment.

Huai Shuangshu: "Is this Sanqing's father?"

The beauty smiled and nodded slowly.

On weekdays, the tough eyes are always softened in an instant. At this time, the beauty is not like an independent woman, nor like a gentle mother, but like a young girl who is in love. The one in the painting is her A thoughtful person.

The paint and color inks were prepared one by one, and Huai Shuangshu cleaned his hands. This painting seemed to be particularly important to them, and Huai Shuangshu felt a little nervous.

After getting ready, Huai Shuangshu held the thin Langhao brush on his fingertips and began to draw slowly.

In fact, it is just to repaint the color again. This kind of thing is not difficult, nor is it simple. Trembling, hot sweat broke out from his perennially cold body.

Huai Shuangshu didn't even dare to take a breath. On weekdays, Huai Shuangshu finished a painting in half a day at most, but today it was delayed until midnight.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong in the end, Huai Shuangshu finished the last stroke, and the big rock in his heart finally fell down.

All three of them could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The beauty patted her shoulder heavily, "Not bad! You are young and promising! You are much better than me!"

"..." Huai Shuangshu sighed inwardly, but said nothing.

The beauty happily held the painting in her palm, and carefully took it down.

"Brother Sijun is really amazing, can you teach me to write in the future?" Xiao Sanqing rested her head on her chin, her face full of anticipation.

Huai Shuangshu, who was about to nod his head, suddenly thought of something, and looked up at him, "Recently there is some chaos in the magic palace, don't go there anymore, I will come and see you when I have time."

"Brother Ke Sijun is usually very busy, and I haven't seen you coming to see me for a long time." Xiao Sanqing said with a hint of grievance.

Huai Shuangshu pinched his fleshy little face, "I will try to spend as much time as possible in the future to see how you are."

"Okay." Xiao Sanqing reluctantly nodded, his face full of reluctance.

Huai Shuangshu saw that it was getting late, so he couldn't stay any longer, lest people in the magic palace be suspicious.

"Then I'll be leaving today."

Xiao Sanqing pouted and nodded, "Then brother, you must remember to come and see me!"

Huai Shuangshu touched his head and said with a smile, "Okay."

After leaving the bamboo house, Huai Shuangshu's pace was a little fast, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He looked back and found that Xiao Sanqing was lying on the window door, looking at him with reluctance.

Huai Shuangshu had no choice but to be ruthless, and turned his face away, and soon disappeared without a trace.

A figure in a black robe slowly appeared among the dark bushes, with inverted triangular eyes and a sinister smile on his skinny face.

"...nearly missed a good show."
