[Comprehensive] Those years when I memorized the Analects of Confucius

Draco didn't ignore the momentary silence in the other's eyes.

He intuitively felt that he seemed to have 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 raised slightly, and for a moment, he almost had the urge to reach out and hug the other person, before he instinctively put this behavior into action, the belated reason caught him—Della Ke reached out and grabbed the hand of the black-haired Hufflepuff, interlocking his fingers, he pulled him naturally, and stopped in front of a pet shop with a strange shape.

"Just now, Mo Rong told me that when he passes the sixth level of mechanism technique, he will make me a magic pet like Tuantuan. Are these magic pets not magical creatures, but made of mechanisms?"

Through the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, a small chinchilla raised its gray paws, and its furry face pressed close to the glass, as if it wanted to get close to the two of them.

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

"Actually, apart from the fact that the lifespan is the same as the owner, this kind of magic pet is actually not much different from ordinary pets - so it doesn't look like they are real, they are real." Kong Yun said, "By the way, Mention, Draco, you always look silly when you change the subject."

Draco thought he should be angry for a while.

So he decided to temporarily give up the research on the little chinchilla, and instead raised his eyebrows, intending to seriously argue with the other party about what it means to say that his boyfriend is stupid in the street——

The black-haired Hufflepuff slightly stood on tiptoe, and lightly kissed the corner of his lips.

It was very light and shallow, and the distance was separated in an instant. When Draco looked down, the latter raised his eyes and smiled at him, and then told him seriously: "Thank you, however."

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

Draco didn't speak.

Feeling the warmth of the other palm holding his own, Kong Yun held the other's hand back with his backhand - it was strange to say, he had thought countless times that he would never set foot in this city again, but now When this topic was brought up, it was much easier than he imagined.

"A few years ago, Kongcheng was not called Kongcheng. At that time, its name was still 'Taoyuan', which means Paradise. Later, when someone went to visit again one day, they found that the name was engraved on the huge stone,' Taoyuan' suddenly became 'Kongcheng'." Kong Yun said: "Actually, I have always suspected that someone secretly changed the name on the stone, but there is another way of saying that——"

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

The female shop assistant who took over the conversation bent down and hugged the little chinchilla whose face was pressed against the floor-to-ceiling window.Perhaps because she rarely saw tourists from foreign countries, her gaze paused for a second on Draco's face before continuing:

"Don't you have similar legends in the West? Ships that are carefully cared for and loved will give birth to ship spirits." She said, "The same is true for Kongcheng. The reason why the words on the stones change is because of the city. Soul, wanting to remember the one who never thought of giving it up."

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

Speaking of this, the girl raised her head, glanced at Kong Yun, and said indifferently: "It can be seen that even if human beings are forgetful, the stubbornness and soul of a city will not be easily changed."

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

It wasn't a forced smile or pretending to be indifferent, on the contrary, it revealed the gentleness and softness he was familiar with, it was the kind of heartfelt, gentle and happy smile.The black-haired Hufflepuff lowered his eyes slightly, listened intently to what she had said, and finally nodded seriously: "You are right."

It was like punching a cotton ball.

With the cooperation of the other party, the girl was unable to say any cruel words. 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, he only glanced at them coldly, then hugged the little chinchilla in his arms, and went to the shop without looking back.

Without looking at the back of the girl leaving angrily, and without pulling Draco to leave immediately, Kong Yun looked at the lively pet shop for a while and asked, "Do you still want to go in and have a look?"

It looked completely unaffected by the episode just now.

The two have been together for many years, and of course they will not be so dull that they can't even see each other's emotions. For example, Draco knew that Kong Yun was not in a bad mood at the moment, and even seemed 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 store, including common ones, such as cats, dogs, snakes, birds, etc., and some strange creatures that cannot be named. When they approached, a pink and white creature with a round body It was curled up into a ball, floating lazily in the air, and it was startled when it saw someone coming, and it spit out transparent bubbles one by one, and fell down like a balloon leaking, on the furry animal skin. A pink and white "biscuit" fell onto the blanket.

Draco couldn't help but take another look.

Little Biscuit took a sneak look at them, making sure that they didn't mean to hurt him, then puffed up his cheeks again, and slowly floated up again. Before it slid 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, feels smooth to the touch, and has a fleshy feeling. When he gets close, he can smell a sweet fruity fragrance.

"This pet shop belongs to the Mo family. All the magic pets sold are actually different from real magic creatures." Noticing the other party's unexpected gaze, Kong Yun explained: "Some of them are real creatures that exist in reality. For example, this Totoro was made with reference to the Japanese Totoro, and the other part was made through the wild imagination of the Mohists, and there is no prototype in reality.”

Everything that happened in front of the pet shop was like dust on the window sill, but when a gust of wind came, it was blown away.

Due to Draco's unknown and curiosity about oriental 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 before, did not have any special reaction when she saw the two again, she only greeted the customers in the shop with familiarity, and did not look at them again.

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

Compared with the common tea-tasting places in the Muggle world, the facilities of this teahouse are a bit strange.In addition to the tea from Xiangyuan Yiqing, brushes and inks, easels and black and red chess pieces are neatly arranged in the tea room.

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

"This is a military sand table deduction game." Kong Yun said, while reaching out to poke the well-dressed soldier dolls in the sand table: "When I was very young, I often played here with my friends, imagining that I was a war warrior. The great general who won't win... or something."

Kong Yun: "When I grew up, I wasn't as interested in it as before. However, I heard from friends that if you take courses related to the art of war in Fengshen Academy, the usual classroom assessments, homework and final exams will involve this game."

"As the name suggests, this military sand table deduction game is actually a simulation of the scene of two soldiers fighting on the battlefield. If it is an ordinary game, the conditions of evenly matched troops and environmental conditions will be set, and the side that first eats all the opponent's troops will be the winner; For example, if Fengshen Academy is used for course learning, some special conditions will be set in addition, such as one side’s military strength is much larger than the other’s, setting up some special environmental terrains, and examining the ability of the players to adapt to changes and make reasonable use of the environment and timing, etc. ..."

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. What he learned, the knowledge from Fengshen Academy, was what he had to do.

It was precisely because he clearly understood this point that Draco never mentioned to Kong Yun that he hoped that the other party would stay—to put it bluntly, for the sake of the future that each other expected, a temporary parting is inevitable after all.

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

Draco would have thought about this question when they were still in that world thousands of years ago.Before he stepped into the gate of Hogwarts at the age of 11, what he thought about was how to protect his family in future wars; Fantasy is much more beautiful.

Kong Yun is not the kind of person who would abandon his responsibilities for personal enjoyment, and he is not now either. From the very beginning, this journey was doomed to be short.

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

Want to know the place where Kong Yun grew up, follow the footsteps of the other party when he was young, and explore the past that he has missed, the other party——

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