[Douluo/Sword Three] Tang Paper Umbrella

Three years have passed and I am already fourteen years old, almost fifteen. I will celebrate my fifteenth birthday in three months. The academy has reached an agreement with the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy for exchange studies, and Huo Yuhao is among the candidates chosen for the exchange.

——The day of farewell is coming.

After a long period of practice, I have gradually found my own path. Mingjiao martial arts is closely related to faith, but I have lived in a stable world of gods since I was a child. Even though the teachings are memorized, I have no deep feelings and everything is superficial.

But after experiencing the narrow gap between life and death, I gained new insights.

Mingjiao is flame, light, killing to stop killing, purifying the world and destroying demons. The holy fire burns the world, bringing light, and the scimitar defeats the devil and cuts off all evil.

I am the God of Light and Holy Fire, but I have never felt that I have such great power. Even if I am a god, my power is very small. But I am willing to be a candle that will never go out, lighting up one everlasting lamp after another, dispelling the darkness, and guiding the lost people. I am willing to burn my life. Maybe this will destroy me, but it will also give the fallen a chance of nirvana and rebirth.

——This is my belief, this is my path.

My mother-in-law once asked me what the Ming Zun in my heart looked like.

Now I have the answer, I am my own Mingzun.

I am my own belief.

Everything I think and do comes from my heart and all returns to my heart.

The wood in my hand is gradually taking shape while being carved with the carving knife. The Mingzun god sitting upright in the light has facial features, handsome eyes and eyebrows, lowered head and eyes. He is a little more mature than me. His calm face is full of understanding of the world. The compassion of the mortal world.

It feels strange to carve a statue of a god that looks exactly like yourself. I am just a five-ring soul king now, and I am still far away from that position. It seems arrogant to carve my own statue.

Thinking like this, I lit a flame in my palm and prepared to burn the wooden sculpture.

"Hey, hey, don't burn it." A hand quickly snatched the wooden sculpture from my eyes, and Huo Yuhao blew the sawdust off the small statue. "If you don't want to keep it, just give it to me. I'm going to the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master soon." I’m doing an exchange program at the academy, so this statue is a perfect reminder.”

He looked at the wooden carving lovingly and put it into his arms happily, which made me roll my eyes: "It's not a good thing. You have to want this thing as a souvenir? Why don't I give you something else? For example The cat head doll on my bedside has rubies embedded in it.”

"No, I want this." Huo Yuhao sat down next to me and said with a smile, "Look, if I miss you over there, I can still think about you with the wooden sculpture. What's so good about a doll? This wooden sculpture looks exactly like you."

"... Dolls are more expensive than wood carvings." I struggled, my ears a little red, "And it's very strange that you are carrying my statue. It seems like we have an unusual relationship."

Huo Yuhao was startled, then chuckled, his deep eyes were dark, "What kind of unusual relationship?" He seemed to be joking, "Are you afraid that I will block your love yesterday?"

"If you want to block it, it's me who blocked your love, right? After all, you are the one holding the statue. It would be embarrassing if someone misunderstood our brothers as being in love." I threw the carving knife on the table, "And I want to Focus on my career, love affects the speed of drawing my sword."

I still want to challenge Aye. Wouldn’t it be nice to spend this time practicing?

"Ayu." Huo Yuhao put his hand on my shoulder.

"Huh?" In the past two years, I have become accustomed to this relatively affectionate title.

"You push yourself too hard." Huo Yuhao said worriedly as the hands on his shoulders tightened slightly.

"If you don't push yourself, how will you know how far you can achieve?" I smiled and said, "Yu Hao, I'm not afraid that you think I'm frivolous. In just a few hundred years, human beings can only seek the ultimate peak, but what I pursue is... It’s beyond that peak.”

With his gilded eyes shining brightly, Huo Yuhao seemed to have seen the arrogance and fearlessness of the young man on the high platform again.

And isn’t that what he wants?

Huo Yuhao laughed softly as his chest felt hot. He thought of the lovesick heartbroken red who had been carefully cared for by him. He had been spurred forward by his teachers and friends, by himself, and by the panic buried deep in his heart. But the heartbreaking love felt to him like a kind of recognition. This kind of recognition filled the blank space in his mind and gave him the goal and motivation to fight for it.

I looked confused as Huo Yuhao smiled inexplicably. I didn't think what I said was funny, and I knew he wasn't mocking me, so I was even more confused.

"Ayu."

He called me that again, and the title I was used to gave me goosebumps.

"What are you doing?" I said angrily and rubbed my arms.

He didn't answer. He came up to me, put his hands on my shoulders, and pushed me down on the bed with his arms on both sides.

Those extremely beautiful deep blue eyes were filled with turbulent ink. If Aye's eyes are like the ocean, Huo Yuhao's eyes are like the night sky, blending into all the stars.

When I looked into these eyes, I felt danger.

He is good at mental skills. In this case, my body gradually became tense. I shouldn't have looked at him, but I couldn't help but explore the emotions in his eyes.

What is Huo Yuhao thinking?

What does he want to do?

"If you hate it, push me away."

I watched him lean over, the daylight was swallowed up by the dusk, and I was lost in the long night. His warm and moist breath spread on my face, and my breath spread like a tide in my ears.

Do I really not understand what he is thinking?

Can't I guess what he's going to do?

He kissed me, the touch of his lips was warm and soft, a simple touch with great restraint, and he stayed there for a long time, as if waiting for me to give him the final judgment.

My nerves were tense to the extreme, but I felt a sense of relief in my heart.

I didn't know he thought this way before, but I know him well. Huo Yuhao and I have lived together for three years, and the tacit understanding we have developed has long since become a habit. Even if I didn't know it before, now he spread everything out in front of me. How could I not understand it.

And to my surprise, I didn't hate it.

——So I didn’t hide.

But do I like it?

--I have no idea.

I can only say that because of our previous friendship, I was able to accept him, which was easier and more comfortable than accepting confessions from strange girls. I'm also sure that there won't be too many conflicts in our relationship, but the transition from brother to love is a bit confusing for a while.

But if I have to carefully consider the word "like", it would be difficult for me to clarify the relationship between me and Huo Yuhao. There is confusion in my heart and my eyes are confused.

I know what Huo Yuhao wants, so I can't just muddle through.

So I'm not going to give an answer right away.

I bent my legs and knees to clamp his flanks. I held his wrists with both hands and turned my body over hard, pressing him under me.

"Huo Yuhao." I called him by his first and last name, raising my eyebrows and smiling, "When did you start? You like me."

"During the competition."

"It's been a long time." I counted the time and loosened my grip on him, "I want to think about it...two and a half years later, when you come back, if you don't change your mind, I will tell you my answer. .”

Huo Yuhao was not disappointed: "It's better than I imagined. I thought you would reject it immediately."

"Then you still dare to ignore kissing me?" I became more interested, "Aren't you afraid that in the end neither brother will have to do it?"

"I'm afraid." He covered his eyes with the back of his hand to block the darkness that almost overflowed for a moment, "But I'm even more afraid that when I come back two and a half years later, I see you dating a girlfriend, so I'm going to throw you a big problem first. You'll have a headache, and you won't have time to think about other people."

He spoke his selfish thoughts honestly and easily, which made me feel like it was a joke.

I wanted to laugh, but I couldn't do it, and I couldn't act coy, so I just wiped my face, raised my leg and lightly kicked Huo Yuhao, "Go back to your bed, I want to sleep."

"No reply." He acted rogue, "I'm leaving tomorrow morning, let's sleep together tonight."

"Classmate Huo Yuhao." I narrowed my eyes, "I now have a reasonable suspicion that you want to take advantage of me."

"Yu Yu, I have to leave." Huo Yuhao emphasized, "Aren't you a little bit reluctant to leave?"

"If you keep doing this, you will destroy my last bit of reluctance." My hands flashed red and black in sequence, "Do you want to feel the passion of the Holy Fire and the love of Meowth Hammer?"

"Okay, okay, calm down." He raised his hands in surrender and reluctantly got out of bed, "Forget it, I'm afraid of you."

I took off my clothes and turned off the lights. I lay on the bed and closed my eyes.

For some reason, Huo Yuhao's breathing was very loud tonight. Usually I can fall asleep quickly, but tonight I was disturbed by his breathing.

In other words, I was paying attention to his breathing unconsciously.

After enduring for a long time, I suddenly opened my eyes: "Yuhao, are you asleep?"

"Asleep," he answered.

I laughed silently and secretly said childishly, "It's very crowded for two people to sleep in the same bed. You can move the table and push the bed over to join mine."

"Okay." He smiled immediately, got up and turned on the light, moved the table to the corner, and then pushed the bed closer to me, so the two single beds became one big bed.

The familiar breathing sound immediately amplified, but I gradually became sleepy in the soft breathing.

"Tomorrow morning, I won't go see you off..."

I allowed myself to immerse myself in a deep dream while meeting Duke Zhou, and did not want to think about parting.

The breathing on his side gradually stabilized, and Huo Yuhao quietly turned over. His spiritual eyes allowed him to see the boy opposite him clearly in the dark environment.

The other person's sleeping face was peaceful and peaceful, with a straight bridge of nose and full lips, which made him unconsciously recall the feeling of kissing.

There was a strand of long hair wrapped around the young man's fingers. Huo Yuhao carefully untied the hair. He selfishly held the calloused hand in his palm and used his own body temperature to warm it.

This was all his fault. He was the one who caused the other party to suffer such serious injuries and left a legacy of disaster. His body temperature was always lower than that of ordinary people, and he changed from a small stove to a small ice cube.

Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and said goodbye quietly: "...Goodbye yesterday, Yu."
