caged robin

Oreas came in and put a large wooden box next to the bed, which exuded a delicate fragrance.Abner smelled the fragrance and gradually woke up. He rubbed his eyes and saw that Oreas was opening a wooden box, and a strong fragrance was refreshing.He got up quickly, and saw that there were small white round bags in the box, and the top was buckled by a red thread.

Although he didn't know what it was, or even if it was for food, but he swallowed shamefully, followed by his stomach growling.

His face turned red instantly.

Oreas chuckled lightly, took out a small round bag, untied the red thread to reveal a pink and white ball, and handed it to Abner.

Abner took the dumpling and asked hesitantly, "Is this for food?"

Orreas nodded.

Abner immediately poured the ball into his mouth, chewed it casually, and swallowed it.After eating, he patted his head violently and said, "Oops, I'm too hungry, I ate too fast, and I didn't even taste what it was."

He unceremoniously reached out and took another one, only then did he feel that the little white bag felt slippery to the touch, and he couldn't wait to untie the rope. This time, the dumpling was not pink and white, but green. He bit it He felt that the dough was very elastic and melted in his mouth. He nodded while chewing: "It seems to have a palm flavor... um, and a little jasmine flavor?"

Oreas didn't speak, just handed him water from time to time, and just watched him eat, as if it was a very interesting thing.

"Eat slowly, don't choke," Oreas said.

Abner peeled off a new dumpling. As soon as he took a bite, his eyes widened, "This one actually tastes like yak meat!"

Orreas nodded without answering.

After that, Abner ate "spinach flavor", "chicken flavor", "honey flavor", "milk flavor"... When he couldn't eat any more, he pushed the box aside, fell on the bed, lifted his pajamas, and was satisfied. Patting his belly, suddenly he saw himself wearing ittert.Frowning, he stretched out his hand to take it off, but Aureas held it down.

"I don't feel comfortable wrapped up," Abner answered honestly.

Oreas sighed softly, "You don't need to wear it here, but you must wear it when you go out."

Abner compromised, and he dropped his hands to his toes.

"Goodbye, you--" Abner kicked Ittert out, and the poor Ittert curled up and fell to the top of the opposite cabinet.

Oreas' face sank, "..."

Abner pretended he didn't see it, yawned, quickly got back into bed, rubbed his face on the soft pillow, and said, "This bed is really big and comfortable."

Oreas extinguished the candle, stuffed Abner's quilt, and was about to leave when Abner grabbed his arm and asked, "Aren't you sleeping here?"

"No, you sleep well."

Abner let go of his hand suddenly.

Oreas was taken aback, Abner's eyes still had a faint light, reflecting the coldness in his eyes.

"Good night." Abner said coldly, withdrew his hand and turned over.

Oreas looked at Abner quietly for a while, and was about to turn around when he heard Abner ask, "Are you going to accompany Lance?"

Oreas was taken aback, seeing that Abner almost buried his head in the quilt.His eyes sank, his golden eyes shone with a faint light, and he said slowly: "I have no patience to wait any longer, I have to tell you..."

"Good night, I'm sleepy." Abner interrupted Oreas.

"Lance!" Oreas yelled.

Abner buried his whole body in the quilt and said, "I admit that I am small-minded, but I really don't want to hear this name right now."

Abner opened his eyes under the pitch-black quilt, clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms.Suddenly he heard the slight sound of clothes rubbing against each other, rustling, he froze for a moment, his back tensed.

Soon, he felt a gust of cool wind behind him, the quilt was lifted, and then he sank behind, a warm body pressed against him.he hurried

Oreas didn't answer him, but just put his arm through his waist and took him into his arms.

Abner felt much warmer. He looked at the big hand beside him and said to himself, "I'm a selfish person."

Oreas still didn't speak, but the big hand trembled slightly and patted Abner's hand.

After that, neither of them spoke again.

After a long time, Abner felt that Oreas' breathing was steady, he quietly lowered his head, and lightly pecked on Oreas' hand.Then he closed his eyes peacefully and fell asleep.

But what he didn't know was that the golden eyes behind him were shining brightly, followed by a very faint sigh, and Aureas withdrew his hand.

The morning light illuminated the room, and Abner was still sleeping soundly. Oreas slowly got up and stuffed Abner's quilt.

He stood in front of the house, raised his hand, and a blue halo of light lit up in the palm of his hand, and then there was a rustle, two rabbits ran from the forest, and they had turned into human shapes in front of the house, they were two young girls.After Oreas explained a few words, the two girls nodded respectfully and stood on either side.

Aureas looked back at Abner, and walked towards the forest. Birds chirped in the forest, and several birds circled above Aureas.

Soon, he walked to a hot spring, and there was a faint mist over the hot spring. He took off his clothes and stepped into the hot spring.A familiar yet strange feeling lingered in his heart. He closed his eyes, and there seemed to be a crisp laughter in his ears. It was Lance.Lance was still young at that time, and he couldn't swim, so he hated going into the water. Every time, Oreas held him up and washed him clean. Get water everywhere.

But when he opened his eyes, there was nothing in front of him except fog.He turned to look at the tall house covered by the woods, where Lance was still sleeping peacefully.

No, maybe he was Abner, Abner with Lance's soul, and Lance was not like him.

He sighed and stood up from the water.

It doesn't matter if they are different, they share a soul, and they are still children in their bones.

He stepped on the shore and walked on a wide and clean stone slab. His wet feet stepped on the slate, and the water was dripping from his body. He looked to both sides and saw the dense lans fruit trees. This tree was very stubborn. It is said that during his absence, the tree just kept growing leaves, blooming, falling, growing leaves, blooming, falling...and did not bear any fruit.

At the end of the flagstone was a huge door, which opened automatically as he approached, and he walked in.

When Abner woke up, he saw that he was alone on the bed, but he didn’t feel lost. A burst of intense emotion made him sit up suddenly. He picked a small white dumpling and bit it down. It was his favorite cherry. taste.

He thought it was a good sign.

So he jumped out of bed, ran out in his pajamas, and was stopped by two girls as soon as he reached the door, and they were speaking softly that he couldn't understand.

He scratched his head and said, "I don't understand." So he insisted on running out.

He was running barefoot on the path in the forest, and seeing two girls chasing after him, he quickly slipped into a dense bush, walked with difficulty for a while, and then rolled into a forest, a group of birds chirping above him, he was happy He responded with a bird whistle, and the bird pecked affectionately on his hand.He ran on, shouting as he ran, "Oreas—"

But no one responded.

He continued to run, smelling the fragrance of the leaves in the morning, listening to the birdsong, and watching the dappled light and shadow cast by the sun through the leaves.

"Oreas—where are you—" he stopped and yelled, "Oreas—I have something to say to you—"

"Ole..." Suddenly a ferret hit him in the face, and he fell to the ground unexpectedly.

He clutched his forehead, and saw that the ferret in front of him had turned into a boy about his own age, with white hair.The corner of his mouth twitched, but he wasn't surprised.

The ferret boy quickly pulled him up and said a lot of words in a hurry, but Abner didn't understand a word.

"I, really, don't understand." Abner tried to make a gesture, and the ferret boy frowned, as if he understood a little, and then pulled him and ran into the woods.

Abner ran and asked, "Where do you take me?"

The boy spoke again, seeing Abner's confused expression, he mustered up the courage to say a word: "Oreas!"

"Are you going to take me to see Oreas?"

The boy said "Oreas" again, and picked up the pace.

Abner followed closely, and suddenly a tall and dense green forest appeared in front of the two of them. He had never seen such a tall tree with such dense leaves. use.

The boy desperately pointed at the green forest and said, "Oreas! Oreas!"

"You mean Aureas is on the opposite side?"

The young man didn't know if he understood Abner's words, but kept pointing and saying, "Oreas!" Then he suddenly turned back into a ferret, and burrowed into the gap.

Abner looked at the impenetrable green forest, "..."

Then he lay down on the ground and followed the ferret to crawl inside little by little.But the ferret was running faster and faster, and Abner couldn't keep up at all, "Hey—wait for me...wait..."

In the blink of an eye, the ferret disappeared. He was in a dilemma, sighed, and could only continue to crawl forward. Seeing that the light ahead was getting bigger and bigger, he used both hands and feet to speed up his crawl.

Abner poked his head out and was amazed by the beautiful scenery inside. There was a circle of lavender flowers planted on this huge grass field, and on the opposite side was a huge wooden shelf covered with emerald green vines.There are also small gardens surrounded by white fences, in which white roses, red roses, violets, irises... and some unrecognizable flowers are planted.

Suddenly he heard voices, he heard the sound and looked, and in the depths covered by the shadows of flowers, a white stone table and bright white wicker chairs were placed.

Immediately, he widened his eyes and saw Aureas, who was sitting on a high wicker chair, his black robe was dragged to the ground, with dark golden patterns on it, a dark red cloak, lacquered Black leather boots wrapped tightly around his powerful calves, his long black hair hung down, and there was a golden crown like a vine on his head.A handsome young man stood beside him, his manner extremely dignified and natural.

Abner was stunned, faintly feeling that Oreas was not as simple as he imagined.

Oreas was talking to other people on the wicker chair, his expression was different from what he usually saw, with a bit of laziness in his majesty.

Abner felt that Oreas was talking about something important, and looked down at his dirty arm and torn sleeve, and when he was hesitating to move back, he raised his head and looked at Oreas suddenly. , Oreas was taken aback, and stared at him for a while, as if to determine whether it was him.Instead, he was a little embarrassed to be stared at, lowered his arms, and was about to move back.

Suddenly Oreas made a gesture to the others, stood up, and walked towards Abner, and then everyone's eyes were attracted.

Abner: "..."

He got up, patted the dust off his body, waved awkwardly to those people, then looked up at Aureas, thinking that Aureas would blame himself, but Aureas took a leaf off his head , asked gently: "What are you doing here?"

Abner glanced around uneasily, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Rose.

"Wait for me." Abner ran over to pick a rose, and carefully pulled out the thorns one by one.

Those who were still sitting on the wicker chairs looked at the dirty Abner, and asked the young man next to Oreas, "ertyuij (who is this?)"

The young man glanced at Abner, and replied respectfully: "lertbomeygc, fantyutmuyi (I don't know, he was brought back by the king)."

There was booing from the rattan chair.

Aureas watched Abner pull out the thorns, then straightened his pajamas, wiped his face, and smoothed his light brown hair along the way.

Oreas: "..."

Then Abner lifted the rose up and said seriously: "The wind, light, trees, and people...are so nice today, so I want to tell you...I like you, and I'm afraid I won't be able to meet you like this in the future." Great opportunity."

Instantly, the roots of his ears turned red, he lowered his head, his heart raised to his throat.

Oreas rubbed his head and said, "I like you too."

Abner raised his head in surprise, but there was no wave in Aureas's eyes. He hesitated for a moment, then pulled Aureas's cloak, Aureas bent down, and he jumped up immediately. Putting his arms around Aureas' neck, holding the rose in his hand, he pecked Aureas' lips lightly.

"That's what I like," Abner said.

There was another booing from the rattan chair.

Oreas' eyes sank, seeing that Abner's expression gradually turned into disappointment, he took Abner's rose, held his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Follow me."
