withered prosperity

Yan Hai and Yun Jiyao looked at each other.

Even though in fact, they are not very far away.

But Yan Hai felt that there was a sudden distance between them...

Things in the world are like this, once you think about the bad, then the last nine out of ten will be the worst ending.

He and Yun Ji, the thing that was blocked between them, finally showed its true shape.

Yan Hai lowered his eyes, looking at the person in his arms.

Under the lotus crown, the green temples and delicate face are the same as in memory...

"What's the matter..." Qiu Lanyu also came out when she heard the movement, when she saw her nephew who had just been found hugging a female crown again.

When he saw clearly that the female crown was actually Xie Mengfei, he was dumbfounded.

"Brother Ah Hai." Xie Mengfei raised his head and looked at Yan Hai, with mixed feelings in his eyes: "I never dreamed that we would meet again one day in this life."

"That's right! I... didn't expect that either." Yan Hai stretched out his hand, grabbed her shoulder, and pulled her away.

"I've been looking for you for a long time, I thought you were killed by those bandits..." After speaking, Xie Mengfei's voice was a little choked up again: "I didn't expect you to still be alive in this world."

"I didn't see you when I went back, and the house was completely burned down, so I thought something happened to you." Yan Hai helped her wipe away the tears from her cheeks with his fingertips: "Those people said that after the fire, no one was able to see you." escaped, I thought..."

He only thought it was the work of those soldiers, and in a fit of anger, he went up the mountain and killed them all, that is, when he was going down the mountain, he was careless for a moment...

"At that time, my elder brother sent someone to take me back to Shangjing, and he should have ordered the house to be set on fire." Xie Mengfei held his cold hand: "You told me not to tell others, I was very courageous back then. Little... Later I couldn't help but tell the nanny, and the nanny didn't allow me to tell anyone..."

A young girl who has not left the cabinet has been hiding a man in the house for three months. It would be a terrible thing if it was reported.Her nanny Li Shi was also from a wealthy family, so she naturally knew the pros and cons of it, and used both soft and hard methods to hide this matter.

"It's good that you're fine." Compared to her happy expression, Yan Hai's responses were all alienated and indifferent.

"I have practiced and prayed in the Taoist temple every day for these years, hoping that you will be safe and sound, and it turns out that I can see you again, which is really great!" But Xie Mengfei was immersed in the joy of reunion, I couldn't help but wanted to throw myself into his arms again with tears in my eyes.

But this time, she was stopped by someone.

A hand pressed down on her shoulder from behind, as if it was just gently placed, but she couldn't move at all immediately.

Xie Mengfei turned around in surprise and saw a completely strange man.

Just now she had a glimpse from a distance, and she should have seen this person. She thought it was Brother Ah Hai, so she called out, but when she got closer, she realized that this person was too tall.

Brother Ah Hai once told her that the bones and joints of a person can be slightly contracted to make the body shorter, but if they want to become taller, they can only rely on external objects. Not willing to pretend to be someone who is very tall, and this person...

She frowned, feeling that there was something about the person in front of her that made her very uncomfortable.

"Say, what's your name? Who are you?" Yun Ji had too many complex and heavy feelings in his eyes: "Do you...recognize me?"

Xie Mengfei shook his head immediately.

She has never met this person before, so how can she talk about knowing him?

"No! No!" Yun Ji came to his senses: "I'm not like this, I'm actually..."

"She doesn't recognize you."

Yun Ji raised his head and looked at Yan Hai.

Yan Hai stretched out his hand and pressed it on the back of his hand.

"You...you don't know her..." He smiled and said, "The person you know is actually me."

That smile was extremely bitter and astringent. It was already summer, but his palms were icy cold.

Yun Ji slowly withdrew his hand.

Xie Mengfei felt that he saw a flash of red light in his dark eyes.

This strange change made his gloomy complexion look even more terrifying, Xie Mengfei couldn't help but feel fear, and shrank into Yan Hai's arms.

Qiu Lanyu also came closer, and seeing him like this, she couldn't help muttering in her heart.

But compared to this seemingly weird-tempered Pavilion Master Chaomu, he cared more about the two people on the other side.

He coughed and asked intentionally, "Yan Hai, do you know Xie Nvguan?"

Although they can be regarded as cousins, but at this age, it's too ugly to hug each other.

"Mr. Qiu." Xie Mengfei also recognized him, hurriedly stood up straight, stepped back a little and made a round bow with him. "I didn't see Mr. just now. I was really rude."

"Nv Guan is polite." Qiu Lanyu cupped her hands casually, and then asked, "I don't know about Nv Guan and my nephew Yan Hai..."

"He is... an old friend of mine from many years ago." Xie Mengfei's cheeks were blushing brightly, "I met you suddenly, it's too rude to be surprised for a while, please don't take offense, uncle."

Your old friend is an old friend, why would you blush when you see an old friend?What do you mean by calling me uncle?

Qiu Lanyu faintly felt bad, so he quickly looked at Yan Hai.

But why does Yan Hai still have the spare heart to care about these things at this time?

"You, say it again." Yun Ji looked at Yan Hai with extreme concentration, as if trying to find some signs of lying from his expression and eyes. "What did you just say?"

Yan Hai let out a long sigh of relief.

He took out something from his arms and handed it to Yun Ji.

"Do you remember?" he said, "on the tower in the city of Mu, we drank some wine, you ate a lot of chestnut cakes, and then I fell asleep, and you put your clothes on me. I woke up When you came here, you dropped this, you picked it up and told me..."

It was a very exquisite hair ornament, the upper part was decorated with emerald green feathers, and the lower part was decorated with several finger-sized bright pearls with golden threads, shining brightly in the sunlight.

Yun Ji stared blankly.

Of course he remembers.

How could it be possible to forget?

On that high tower, I handed the hair ornament to the man, and then asked for a kiss.

At that time, he thought that as long as the other party agreed, no matter what valuable things he asked for as a dowry gift, he could do it.

What is the most precious thing in this world?

He was born in a place of wealth and authority since he was a child, and he felt that it should be the supreme position that everyone wanted.

That's why he said "the world is hiring"...

Turns out... she's not "she".

She is... Yan Hai?

How could it be Yan Hai?

"Why is it impossible?"

When he heard Yan Hai's voice, he realized that he had asked.

"For me, isn't it very simple?" Yan Hai's tone suddenly changed: "It's just a change of voice and a change of face."

There was nothing strange about the first half of what he said, but the second half of the sentence sounded... exactly the same as Xie Mengfei's tone of voice.
