I recite the Analects of Confucius at Hogwarts

Draco did not ignore the momentary silence in the other person's eyes.

He intuitively felt that he had inadvertently mentioned a sensitive issue, which brought some unpleasant memories to the other party. The emotion could not be said to be anger or sadness, but an indescribable tranquility.

The hand hanging by his side was slightly raised. For a moment, he almost had the urge to reach out and hug the other person. Before he could instinctively put this behavior into action, the belated reason caught him. Draco stretched out his hand. He grabbed the black-haired Hufflepuff's hand, intertwined their fingers, and pulled him naturally, stopping in front of a strange-looking pet shop.

"Just now, Mo Rong told me that after he passes the sixth level of mechanism skills, he will make a magic pet like Tuantuan for me. Aren't these magic pets not magical creatures, but made of mechanisms?"

Through the transparent floor-to-ceiling window, a small chinchilla raised its gray paws and put its furry face close to the glass, as if it wanted to get in front of the two of them and take a look.

As if he suddenly became interested in these little guys, Draco looked at them with interest for a while, and then commented: "They look just like the real thing."

"In fact, apart from having the same lifespan as their owners, this kind of magical pet is not much different from ordinary pets, so it doesn't mean they look real, they are real." Kong Yun said, "By the way, Draco, you always look so stupid when you change the subject."

Draco thought he should be angry for a while.

So he decided to give up his research on the little chinchilla for the time being, and raised his eyebrows, planning to have a serious discussion with the other party about what it meant to call his boyfriend stupid in the street.

The black-haired Hufflepuff stood on tiptoes slightly and chirped lightly at the corner of his lips.

With a very slight movement, they pulled away in an instant. When Draco lowered his eyes and looked over, the latter raised his eyes and smiled at him, and then told him seriously: "But, thank you."

"Although generally speaking, the naming of a city almost means its ownership, Kongcheng is indeed not the private land of the Kong family." When he said this, his tone was relaxed and natural, and he even blinked in mood, joking Said: "So Draco, you don't need to feel too much pressure, and you don't need to be so nervous."

Draco said nothing.

Feeling the warmth of the other hand holding his, Kong Yun held the other's hand back. It was strange to say that he had thought that he would never set foot in this city again, but now he mentioned it again. When it came to the topic, it turned out to be much easier than he expected.

"A few years ago, Kongcheng was not called Kongcheng. At that time, its name was Taoyuan, which means paradise. Then one day when someone went to see it, they found that on the huge stone with the name engraved on it, Taoyuan suddenly appeared. It became Kongcheng." Kong Yun said: "Actually, I have always suspected that someone secretly changed the name on the stone. However, there is another theory, which is that"

"Any city with a long history will have its own unique soul."

The female clerk who took over the conversation bent down and picked up the little chinchilla, whose face was pressed against the floor-to-ceiling window.Perhaps because it was rare to see travelers from foreign countries, her eyes paused on Draco's face for a second before continuing:

"Don't you have similar legends in the West? The consciousness of a ship that is carefully cared for and loved will give birth to a ship spirit." She said: "The same is true for Kongcheng. The reason why the words on the stone change is because of the soul of the city. , trying to remember the person who never thought about giving it up.”

"It's not that no one has tried to change the name on the stone, but no one can erase the writing on the stone, let alone carve new writing on it."

At this point, the girl raised her head, glanced at Kong Yun, and said with a hint of saltiness: "It shows that even if humans are forgetful, the stubbornness and soul of a city will not change easily."

She spoke bluntly and vaguely, vaguely yet sharply.Draco's heart twitched slightly, but the person who was being insinuated pursed his lips and just smiled slightly.

It was not a forced smile or a pretense of calmness. Instead, it revealed his familiar gentleness and softness. It was the kind of gentle and happy smile that came from the heart.The black-haired Hufflepuff lowered his eyes slightly and listened to her attentively. Finally, he nodded seriously: "You are right."

It was like a punch hitting a ball of cotton.

The other party cooperated like this, but the girl couldn't say anything harsh. Her voice was a little astringent: "You don't understand at all." She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it in the end. In the end, she just said He glanced at them with cold eyes, then hugged the little chinchilla in his arms and went to the shop without looking back.

Kong Yun didn't look at the girl's back as she left angrily, nor did she mean to pull Draco away immediately. Kong Yun looked at the busy pet shop for a while.

Son, asked: "Do you still want to go in and have a look?"

He seemed completely unaffected by the episode just now.

The two of them have been together for many years, so of course they are not so dull that they cannot even see each other's emotions. For example, Draco knows that Kong Yun is not in a bad mood at this moment, and is even a little happy. As for the mood of the clerk just now, It was completely out of his consideration.

There are many kinds of pets in the shop, including common ones such as cats, dogs, snakes, birds, etc., but also some strange creatures that cannot be named. When they approached, they saw a pink and white creature with a round body. It was curled up into a ball, floating lazily in the air. When it saw someone coming, it seemed to be frightened. It spat out transparent bubbles one after another, and fell down like a deflated balloon, in the furry animal skin. The blanket fell into a piece of pink and white "little biscuit".

Draco couldn't help but take a second look.

The little biscuit secretly looked at them and made sure they didn't mean to hurt him. Then he puffed up his cheeks and slowly floated up again. Before it scurried up, Kong Yun stretched out his hand and held it up. In the palm of your hand.

The little guy has no hair on his body and feels smooth and fleshy to the touch. When he gets closer, he can smell a hint of sweet fruity aroma.

"This pet shop belongs to the Mo family. All the magical pets sold are actually different from real magical creatures." Noticing the unexpected look from the other party, Kong Yun explained: "Some of them are real creatures that exist in reality. For example, this chinchilla is made based on the Japanese chinchilla, and the other part is made through the Mohist's wild imagination, and there is no prototype in reality."

Everything I experienced in front of the pet shop was like dust on the windowsill, but when a gust of wind came, it was blown away.

Due to Draco's unknown and curiosity about eastern magical creatures, they stayed in the pet shop for a while.The female clerk who had had an unpleasant exchange with the two at the door had no special reaction when she saw the two again. She just greeted the customers in the store in a familiar manner and no longer looked at them.

After coming out of the pet shop, they went to a teahouse not far away.

Compared with the common tea tasting places in the Muggle world, the facilities of this teahouse are somewhat wonderful.In addition to the tea from Xiangyuan Yiqing, the tea room is also neatly decorated with pens and ink, an easel and a black and red chess set.

Draco even found a sand table next to the bookshelf in the tea room.

"This is a military sandbox deduction game." Kong Yun said, reaching out and poking at the neatly dressed soldier dolls in the sandbox: "When I was very young, I often played here with my friends, imagining that I was invincible in battle. An invincible general or something like that.”

Kong Yun: "As I grew up, I was not as interested as before. However, I heard from my friends that if you take courses related to the art of war at Fengshen Hall, the usual classroom assessments, homework and final exams will all be involved. this game."

"As the name suggests, this military sandbox deduction game actually simulates the scene of two soldiers fighting on the battlefield. If it is an ordinary game, evenly matched troop conditions and environmental conditions will be set, and the side that first eats the opponent's entire army will be the winner; For example, if Fengshen Hall is used for course study, some special conditions will be set, such as one side's military strength is much greater than the other side, some special environmental terrains will be set, and the player's ability to adapt to changes, make reasonable use of the environment and opportunities, etc. will be tested. "

Draco listened carefully.

As long as he wants, he can apply for early graduation at Hogwarts at any time without being bound by all aspects of his current body. But Kong Yun is different. For him, making up for what he has missed over the years is what he must do in the future. He must learn the knowledge from Fengshen Hall.

It was precisely because he clearly understood this that Draco never mentioned to Kong Yun that he hoped the other party would stay. To put it more vulgarly, for the future that each other expected, temporary separation was inevitable after all.

What would he do if he had the chance to return to his original world?

Draco would have thought about this problem when they were still in the world a thousand years ago.Before he stepped into Hogwarts at the age of 11, he was thinking about how to protect his family in future wars; after he left Hogwarts, the blueprints that emerged in his mind were far better than what he had imagined back then. Fantasy is much more magnificent.

Kong Yun is not the kind of person who would abandon his own responsibilities for personal pleasure, and neither is he now. From the beginning, this journey was destined to be short.

Just like what he said when he secretly abducted the other party from Hogwarts that day:

He wanted to understand the place where Kong Yun grew up, follow the footsteps that the other person walked when he was a boy, and explore the other person's past that he had missed.

Then, firmly grasp the future that has not happened yet in the palm of your hand.
