Pushing open the firewood door in the yard, Lan Yu saw from a distance that the door of Chu Yitang's room was still closed. He must have slept too late yesterday and couldn't get up yet.

With this in mind, it wouldn't hurt to simply sleep a little longer. Lan Yu put the vegetable basket into the kitchen, found a hoe at the fence at the base of the yard wall, and planned to take good care of the vegetables that Chu Yitang had planted there before, and then clear out the land next to it.

He asked Hong Ran for a few fruit tree saplings, thinking that if he planted some pears, peaches and the like, he would be self-sufficient.

This land is located on the hill behind the hut, and the soil is fertile. A few cabbage and green vegetables are planted in the soil here and there, giving the appearance of malnutrition.

How should I take care of this?

Lan Yu stretched out his hand to pull out these vegetables, looking at the yellowing and wilting leaves, he felt a little disgusted. I wanted to throw it away, but after all, it was planted by Chu Yitang himself. After thinking about it, I didn’t throw it away. I moved it to the side and took it with me when I left. I could still eat it after choosing it.

He took off his shoes, tied his clothes up to his waist, tied his long hair into a neat ponytail, and went barefoot to the fields.

He often helped the old man with these tasks, and he was quite handy.

Plowing the ground is a physical job, and the land is not small. Most of the day passed in a short time.

When Chu Yitang walked up the hillside facing the noon sun, he happened to see Lan Yu diligently cultivating the land.

It was already noon when he woke up. Lan Yu was not at home, and there were two more baskets of vegetables in the kitchen. He guessed that Lan Yu should have come back but then went out. After thinking about it, he thought that he had said that he would put the vegetable plot in another day. After a good rest, he should be heading to the back mountain, so he came up to look for him.

Chu Yitang stood behind Lan Yu, found a tree to lean against, and didn't make a sound, just watching.

The young man was wearing a moon-white round-collared robe embroidered with auspicious clouds, which he probably had not had time to change after returning from the court. His black hair was tied high with a silk belt and hung down at his side. Although it has not yet fully grown, his figure is long and well-proportioned, and wide. With narrow shoulders and waist, long straight legs, and a body like a clothes rack, he is almost as tall as Chu Yitang.

He is handsome, works diligently and neatly, and the key is that he is very obedient.

Chu Yitang was extremely satisfied and couldn't help but praise his decision to keep Lan Yu.

Lan Yu finished plowing the last piece of land, and his hair on his forehead was a little wet with sweat. He picked up the hoe and went to pick up the fruit tree saplings. He accidentally caught a glimpse of Chu Yitang's clothes. He was so happy that he turned around and looked towards Chu Yitang waved his hands vigorously: "Atang! Why didn't you say anything when you came?"

Chu Yitang stood up straight, stepped forward and took the hoe from Lan Yu's hand, glanced at the fruit seedlings, and asked casually: "What is that?"

"It's a fruit tree. I thought it would be a waste to leave the ground empty, so I asked Hong Ran for these seedlings, including pear and peach ones."

Lan Yu asked Chu Yitang to wait for him here for a while, while he quickly planted the saplings into the dug hole, washed his hands, picked up his shoes, not forgetting to pick up the pile of vegetables, and ran back to Chu Yitang. Next to them, a pair of beautiful pear dimples smiled: "Let's go home. It's time to make lunch."

Why does he look like a puppy?

Chu Yitang looked at the young man's bright and energetic smile, and suddenly felt that if Lan Yu turned into a beast, he would definitely be a dog, or a large one. Her ears are big, soft, and fluffy, and she smiles very cutely.

Unable to help but smile a little, Chu Yitang was in a particularly good mood, and went down the mountain to go home side by side with Lan Yu.

After dinner, Chu Yitang went back to his room to catch up on his sleep because he wasn't full.

Lan Yu was a little strange, why was Chu Yitang always sleeping, sleeping during the day and at night, as if he couldn't get enough sleep.

Nonsense, it would be strange if you lived alone in the mountains for tens of thousands of years and didn't like to sleep. After all, a day passes as soon as you close your eyes and then open them. It is really the best way to pass the time.

Lan Yu was also happy to have some free time, since he didn't have to go back to work on errands now, so he followed Meimei to bed and took a nap.

I don’t know whether it was because the air index in Guyu Mountain was too high or because it was too quiet or something else, Lan Yu slept until dark.

He rubbed his eyes and looked out the window, still recalling whether he had closed the window before going to bed today, otherwise he would not see any light at all.

It wasn't until he sat up and checked again and again that he had to admit the fact that it was already dark.

oops! That’s it, dinner is late again today!

But I remembered what Chu Yitang said at noon today. If he had lunch late, he wouldn't get hungry too quickly. He took a long nap and skipped dinner.

Lan Yu breathed a sigh of relief and fell back on the bed. His eyes unconsciously fell on the ring on his hand. The nine flowers on the ring were delicately carved, budding and graceful.

Lan Yu stared blankly for a while, remembering the situation that day for no reason. Chu Yitang gave this to him and asked him thoughtfully if he liked it.

Did he carve the orchid because of himself?

His ears started to feel hot again, Lan Yu exhaled a breath of thick air, shook his head, and decided to go for a walk.

I've been here in Guyu Mountain for so many days, but I haven't taken a closer look at any other place except this house.

Lan Yu opened the door and left the room. Seeing that the door of Chu Yitang's room was closed, he had to sigh again at the good quality of his sleep.

After walking down the mountain along the bluestone path for a while, Lan Yu looked a little confused at the fork in the road in front of him.

Going left means going up, going right means going down. Lan Yu was a bit confused, and a fallen leaf happened to fall from the tree on the right. Lan Yu took it seriously and stepped onto the path on the left.

This path was paved with rain-flowered stones, which made it a bit uncomfortable to walk on. Lan Yu was wondering if he had gone to the wrong place and wanted to go back and take another path.

However, a bit of cold mist floated in front, which made her nose itchy. Lan Yu frowned, but still did not go back, and instead went deeper.

The fog became thicker as he went deeper, and Lan Yu's vision became increasingly blurry. After walking around the hill, he could vaguely see a huge pool, surrounded by flowers and plants, and the graceful beauty of Pingting.

It's a pity that Lan Yu's eyesight is not good and he didn't see anyone sitting under the hillock. He just went to look at the flowers and grass.

Lan Yu touched the edge of the pool and was surprised to find that the water was cold and biting. He grabbed two grass blades and put them into the water to float like a boat. As the boat floated farther and farther away, Lan Yu's eyes followed. Looking around, suddenly, the water rippled, and the boat seemed to have encountered some obstacle and stalled.

The cold fog filled the air, and a person slowly stepped out from the depths of the thick fog. Chu Yitang was stopping in the water, with his long hair wet and gathered to one side. He looked at the stunned intruder in front of him. The two of them just looked at each other in silence. Stared for a long time.

Lan Yu was stunned on the spot. He didn't expect that Chu Yitang would be here. He even forgot to avoid it and just looked at him with glaring eyes. He saw the moisture between Chu Yitang's brows and eyes, and his long hair was scattered, like a bright moon falling into a pool. He forgot to close his eyes and was so frightened.

Chu Yitang's eyes moved slightly, and he spoke in a simple tone of invitation.

"Would you like to wash together? My pool is very big."
