Old City Tingzhou

The next day, when Xiao Cheng came to Yan Tingzhou's resting room, it was already noon, and Yan Tingzhou had lunch.

"I've already eaten." Before the words were finished, the other party saw his thoughts, Xiao Cheng didn't wait for Yan Tingzhou's next sentence, and said first: "Are you still used to it?"

"Naturally I'm used to it, it's just that I'm bothering you too much." At this moment, the young man who was eating lunch was completely free of the restraint he had yesterday.

It was because Yan Tingzhou felt that Ah Cheng was too familiar to him, so familiar, he couldn't help but get close.

Regardless of Xiao Cheng's still standing, Yan Tingzhou lowered his head and took his last mouthful of food.As soon as the bowls and chopsticks were put down, a servant girl walked in from outside the door, but after a while, she tidied up and left cleanly.

"Ah Cheng, I'm going out this afternoon."

He didn't want to continue to bother the other party.

It's just that the house is too big, he tried to walk out the door and took a few steps, but he didn't know how to get out.

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng suddenly leaned forward and looked at him closely.

Xiao Cheng couldn't help laughing when he heard the sound of saliva flowing down his throat.But it was just a laugh. "Okay, I'll go with you."

……

"Here, it's here." Yan Tingzhou and Xiao Cheng stood at the entrance of the neighborhood, and Yan Tingzhou pointed to the word Gu Ran on the road tablet.

But Yan Tingzhou, who was looking at the stele, didn't notice that Xiao Cheng's hands trembled: "What are you doing here at Gu Ran Neighborhood?"

"Because.... I want to find a long-lost relative." Yan Tingzhou's face froze.He is a little nervous.

He lied.

Here... is the source of his nightmares.

Xiao Cheng just watched it, and didn't expose the other party's lies

Since I was looking for relatives, I should have found them the night before, so why did I faint on the street?

... If it wasn't for Yan Tingzhou who fainted by the side of the street, Xiao Cheng would have passed by without even looking at him.

"The two relatives I'm looking for, I have forgotten their names, what they look like, and where they live..."

This sentence is both true and false.

Xiao Cheng didn't doubt that he was there, without asking anything, he naturally took Yan Tingzhou's arm and stepped into the neighborhood.

Yan Tingzhou was astonished by Xiao Cheng's natural actions, but his hands didn't seem to reject contact with Xiao Cheng, and he walked in unconsciously.

This time, he didn't feel like the day before, when he just walked into the street, he felt a splitting headache.

The young man was foolishly drawn into the neighborhood by a man who looked a few years older than him and who looked very much like his brother.

Although it was late in the afternoon, the night had not yet fallen, and the lights had not yet been lit.Clearly, Yan Tingzhou saw the arrival and departure of every shop on the street, and heard the yelling of street vendors.

Before he had taken a few steps, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy in a yellow shirt bumped into Yan Tingzhou.Yan Tingzhou came to his senses just after being bumped by the boy in yellow shirt, and hurriedly shook off Xiao Cheng's hand.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The yellow-clothed boy just apologized, then hastily turned around, saw the green-clothed boy chasing him not far behind, and ran forward again, out of the neighborhood.

While running forward, the boy in yellow shirt turned his head and said to the boy in green shirt who looked like fifteen or sixteen years old after him, "Haha, if you can't catch up, you can't catch up, sick man!"

The young man in green shirt still chased forward without saying a word, but after a while, the two of them faded out of the sight of Yan Tingzhou and Xiao Cheng.

But at this moment, Yan Tingzhou was covered in cold sweat and could not move.

Gu Ran Neighborhood.

The boy in yellow, and the boy in green chasing after him.

And the taunt that was clearly not a joke.

——Can’t catch up, can’t catch up.Sick child!

——Sick seedling!

Suddenly, Yan Tingzhou grabbed Xiao Cheng's arm with both hands, regardless of being on the street with people coming and going.His face was pale.At this time, the passers-by also began to point to the two who had just walked into the street standing not far from the stele.

Xiao Cheng didn't seem to care about the passer-by's advice, and covered Yan Tingzhou's pale hands with the other hand that was not caught by Yan Tingzhou, and asked gently and unhurriedly: "What's the matter, didn't you all be fine just now, didn't you?" I feel unwell again"

"No..." Compared to Xiao Cheng's calm and relaxed attitude, Yan Tingzhou shook his head exaggeratedly, "Chasing soldiers, chasing soldiers are coming...Ah Cheng , let's run....run..."

The young man had lost the calmness he had maintained before, and he tightly grasped the hand of the person beside him, as if he was about to turn around and leave the next moment.The blooming flowers beside him are still there, but in the eyes of the young man, it is shocking.That is a kind of...fear even more than the day before yesterday?

Xiao Cheng just let the other party hold his hands, not even a trace of tenderness in his eyes.

Like the cold ice in deep winter, Yan Tingzhou felt cold, and the coolness shot up from the soles of his feet to his heart.

Although Yan Tingzhou's eyes were cold, at most it said "don't get close to strangers", because he was a little introverted when facing strangers.

But Xiao Cheng's eyes were as cold as if he wanted to swallow the boy who was snuggling up to him alive.

However, he just lowered his head slightly and glanced at the young man who was shorter than himself, who was shrunk beside him at this time, and then he called out in a moderate and unobtrusive tone: "Dark guard!"

Immediately there were five masked guards dressed in black kneeling neatly in front of Xiao Cheng.

"Clear the field." It was still two cold words.

The young man beside him was still trembling and grasping his hand, he completely lost his calm yesterday, lost the clarity of the previous analysis of the situation, and there was a pitiful fear in his eyes, and he kept repeating——

run.... run..

"If you don't run, they will catch up...Ah Cheng, let's go!"

In the end, he couldn't hold back the fear and raised his head to urge him to be the only man he could rely on at the moment.But when the young man raised his head, he just noticed...

The neighborhood was noisy just now, but at this moment, he and A Cheng were the only ones left.

deathly still....

But Tingzhou stopped trembling, suddenly calmed down, took a deep breath, and turned his gaze back to Xiao Cheng from the desolate street. "how did you do it..."

The man hid his cold and ruthless eyes at an extremely fast speed, showing his usual gentle expression, took his right hand from Yan Tingzhou's hands that had not been released, and slowly stroked the boy's cheek, "What happened just now, kindness"

It was another answer that the donkey's head was wrong with the horse's mouth.But with this move, the man seems to be sure that the other party will be taken away by him.

And that was indeed the case, the other party was easily taken away by him.

"Just now, that scene just now...was a nightmare...a nightmare...it seemed to be an answer to Xiao Cheng's question, but it was more like a muttering to himself.

Noticing that the young man beside him began to tremble slightly again, Xiao Cheng patted the other party's shoulder very naturally, signaling the other party to calm down, then leaned over and whispered softly in the young man's ear: "It's a nightmare, don't think about it." gone."

Yan Tingzhou was slightly startled, and suddenly pushed Xiao Cheng away with trembling hands, "No, I must know the truth and find the fragments I didn't see."

Not a question, not an awe, but an unquestionable affirmation.He wanted to see the faces of those two teenagers, and what happened after the pursuers caught up with them...

"Why?" The young man pushed himself away without being angry, Xiao Cheng never seemed to let his emotions get out of control, at least in front of Yan Tingzhou, Xiao Cheng had only two voices: gentle and flat.

"I don't know..." Although he always believed in the person in front of him easily, he was not stupid.The man in front of him had only known him for three days, how could he tell about his amnesia, how could he tell him about the lingering nightmare that appeared in his mind.

The nightmare that must have been connected to my past self.

The soldier chasing and shouting behind him, the two teenagers who seemed to be playing, that dream that looked like Shura's hell...

Xiao Cheng smiled at this time, with a gentle and indulgent smile.He stretched out his hands and hugged Yan Tingzhou who was showing no resistance to him at this moment. "Since you don't know, why do you want to investigate? In this way, you are also in pain, aren't you?"

Yan Tingzhou always felt that this posture was a bit strange, and he struggled a little, but the other party didn't move at all anyway, and he didn't struggle much.This hug was so warm that he couldn't refuse, "I want to know, I really want to know."

He just felt that his head was about to explode.

He seemed to hear the sound of chasing soldiers behind him again, saw the splendid city of Luoyang illuminated by thousands of lights in his dream, saw the boy in yellow running forward leading the boy in green, and heard the sound of weapons colliding. Bloody jingle...

Suddenly, his lips touched a piece of warmth.

He was actually kissed by Xiao Cheng.

His eyes widened suddenly.

He was stunned for a few moments by the opponent's sudden attack, but when he came to his senses, the opponent let go.

He heard the other party's soothing voice: "It's okay, don't think about it..."
