Flavored candle shop

When Pei Ci woke up, his eyes were dim and dim. Before he could see where he was, the thick bloody smell from his sore and dry throat occupied all his senses.

Pei Ci, who was sore and sore all over, moved his lips weakly, and in the next second he was gently lifted up, and his shoulders were leaned against a pillow of a suitable size and soft to the touch. After a few breaths, the moist porcelain cup was placed on his lips, and Pei Ci Ci Xiaoxiao took a sip, it was warm water full of lotus seeds.

After drinking a glass of lotus seed water, Pei Ciru's throat that had been burnt and sanded by the fire finally relaxed a little. He raised his hand and gently held the water feeder's wrist, and asked softly, "Red medicine, what time is it?"

Hong Yao changed her hand and put the empty cup on the bedside table, while the held hand turned against the guest and held Pei Ci's cold hand tightly: "You've been sleeping for a long time...it's already dark. "

"It's getting dark..." Pei Ci smiled suddenly, with a brisk tone, "It's okay, it's okay, when I just opened my eyes, it was dark, and I thought I was blind, but I thought that would be bad. I can't see your face."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Your eyes are fine, but today it was so dark that I forgot to light up a few more lights... Wait a minute, I'll go light the lights." Hong Yao got up to leave, but was held back by the weak force in her hand. live.

"No need." Pei Ci blinked, trying hard to distinguish the outline of the red medicine in the darkness, "I'll get used to it after a while...I want to talk to you."

Hong Yao sat back on the side of the bed, lowered her head and tightly held Pei Ci's warm hand, "Okay, what are you talking about?"

Pei Ci was silent for a few seconds, and asked, "...what's wrong with me?"

Hong Yao's expression was calm, and her tone was as calm and indifferent as usual: "It's not a big deal, it's just that I accidentally fell into the plot of Shenhui Bald Donkey. It's okay, I can solve it soon."

"Conspiracy? How to conspire?"

"He's a demon, and his means are nothing more than the same, such as soul attack." Hong Yao pretended to be relaxed, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that Shenhui is an earthworm spirit, and his delusions come true." Long, the little earthworm under his hand has human faces on both ends, it looks disgusting..."

Pei Ci quietly listened to Hong Yao's vivid explanation of the things he had missed, and then said: "Boss Hong, I wonder if the previous three-month agreement can still be counted?"

Hong Yao snorted: "What March appointment? I don't have a good memory, I don't remember... Do you not believe that I can protect you?"

Pei Ci shook Hong Yao's hand flatteringly, and assured him: "Of course I believe in you, I believe in you the most in the whole world... Actually, I don't have a good memory, and I don't remember much about the details of the March appointment." What's the matter. Otherwise, we have a new appointment?"

"Appointment again?" Is there such an operation?Hong Yao looked at Pei Ci, who was weak and leaning against the pile of pillows at the head of the bed, with a pale face and bright eyes, her heart softened for a moment, and she couldn't help asking obediently, "How do you want to make an appointment?"

Pei Ci struggled to get up, and lightly put her warm hands on Hong Yao's shoulders: "Will you come home with me to meet my grandpa?"

See...meet the parents? !How did the topic suddenly jump to this step?General Wu'an, who has been victorious in many battles, blinked his eyes and looked confused.

Pei Ci's eyes were bright and scorching in the dim light, as if all the joy and vitality were burning in those eyes, he folded his arms, his cold forehead lightly pressed against the red medicine that was frozen in place: "Today is March On the last day of the period, General Wu An is invincible in all battles, surely he will not renege on his promise?"

The invincible General Wu'an has never formally met his boyfriend's parents... We used to see each other often when we were in Princess Yining's mansion, but at that time they were still a pure master-servant friendship, but now... ... Hong Yao was really worried.

"...You just vomited blood today, so you should stay in the incense candle shop to take good care of your health, see your parents and so on... It won't be too late after you recover your body."

Pei Ci rubbed his heart and sighed softly: "Just now, when Grandpa sees me so weak, he will happily accept the fact that my lineage is extinct."

After realizing it, Hong Yao realized that they were not only meeting their parents, but also... coming out of the closet!

Pei Ci continued: "And... I also want to take you home while I'm still alive, let grandpa see you, have a meal together, and let you see the place where I lived since I was a child, where I lived 20 years ago. Traces of years of life."

"The two of us came out in front of your grandpa, and you still want to stay and have dinner together? If you don't kick us both out on the spot, the old man has a good temper and a good heart..." Hong Yao pinched Pei Ci's pale cheeks, "What's the matter?" Yes, what do you mean by 'want to take me home while I'm still alive'? You just said you believed in me, the world believes in me the most, and now your mouth is about to die. It really is a man's mouth, a lie ghost!"

Pei Ci's cheeks were controlled and kneaded by her boyfriend, so she had no choice but to say: "It's not that I don't believe in you, it's just that people have misfortunes and fortunes, especially in my situation, so we must hurry up... In case something happens, Then I can only be a ghost couple with you and confess to grandpa in my dream."

"...I want to formally take you home."

Hong Yao held Pei Ci's soft and cold cheeks with both hands, as if she had found some new toy, pinched left and right, and then rubbed it in a circular motion. After a lot of tossing, Pei Ci's pale cheeks finally became a little more bloody.After playing with 'fresh toys' in silence for a long while, Hong Yao said slowly: "That's right... If there is such an eventuality as you said, I can only attend your funeral as an ordinary friend that Mr. Pei just met... You Grandpa is not superstitious, is he? Will you marry Zhang Luo Ming?"

Pei Ci was dumbfounded by Hong Yao's jumpy topic, and assured him: "Don't worry, my grandfather has always kept those feudal dross at a respectful distance."

"That's not necessarily the case. In the past, I stayed away from it because it was someone else's family's business. I couldn't understand the feelings of the family members involved. If you really died young, your grandfather would definitely feel sorry for you. You are a lonely ghost underground, maybe Are you willing to spend a lot of money to find a young, beautiful and unlucky girl for you to marry and be buried together?"

Saying that, Hong Yao glanced at Pei Ci again, and sighed deeply, "Perhaps your grandpa, because of our 'friendship', will take care of my incense candle shop business, and take care of me." Let me take care of all the ritual utensils you will use for your ghost marriage."

Pei Ci was amused by Hong Yao's sad expression, and smiled and said, "Then will you take care of it?"

"Do you need to ask? Of course not!" Hong Yao's face darkened, and she said coldly, "I will even steal your corpse from your ancestral grave, smash the bones, burn them to ashes, and Mix my ashes together!"

"It's agreed to be buried with me, and you want to marry a beautiful girl in the dark? It's impossible in the next life!"

Pei Ci, who had never said that she would marry a beautiful girl in the dark, was innocent and aggrieved, and swore hoarsely: "...Pei Ci only married Hong Yao in the dark, and was only buried with Hong Yao."

Hong Yao nodded, with an expression that should have been taken for granted.

Pei Ci paused, his thick and slender eyelashes trembling slightly, and he asked cautiously: "...Then do you want to go home with me?"

A mature lover who has always been gentle and tolerant suddenly made such a prudent and pitiful request... Who can resist this!

"Yes!" Hong Yao carefully lifted Pei Ci up, flattened the pillow that was purposely raised before, and gently settled Pei Ci, who was no longer energetic, "Sleep, we will go to your house when you wake up, and face each other Facing the storm outside the cabinet!"

Pei Ci was lying on the pile of soft brocade, his eyelids seemed heavy, but he still insisted on half-opening his eyes and looking at Hong Yao with a smile, and his tone was soft and soft: "Although Grandpa is strict, he loves me very much. I love you so much, he will love you too..."

As he spoke, Pei Ci's voice became smaller and weaker, and finally he closed his eyes and fell into a dark dream.

Hong Yao looked at the sleepy Pei Ci silently for a long time, then gently leaned on Pei Ci's chest, closed her eyes and listened carefully to the slow and subtle beating that represented life.

"...Go to sleep, I will watch over you."

……

When Pei Ci opened his eyes again, the darkness faded away, and his eyes were bright. As soon as his vision became clear, he saw the red medicine laying on his chest like a white feather, and he was wondering whether to wake it up or let the red medicine sleep more After a while, White Feather got up lightly, and there was no trace of drowsiness in her dark and clear eyes, and she didn't know if she woke up too quickly or stayed up all the time.

"Are you relieved today?" Hong Yao asked, while handing the white porcelain cup on the bedside table to Pei Ci.

"It's much better." Pei Ci took a sip from the white porcelain cup. It was the same warm lotus seed soup as last night... It seemed that he hadn't slept all this time.

Hong Yao took out two neatly folded clean clothes from the closet, first tidied herself up quickly, and then tidied up for Pei Ci, who was still leaning on the bed and breathed silently, who was "better much".She still didn't forget to comfort Pei Ci, who was a little embarrassed: "It's normal to feel tired all over after waking up."

Pei Ci, who was not only exhausted, smiled silently, secretly accumulating strength, hoping that he could walk more steadily later, and don't stumble... The distance from the alley to Pei's house is not short, even if you have a car to walk Not a lot, and I don't know if his current body can last a round trip...

However, Pei Ci's worries only lasted from the bedroom to the candle shop.

Looking at the 48-hour long standby time, the three-speed speed change at will, and the maximum speed of 10km per hour, Pei Ci once again sighed. Fang Chong was hired as his assistant a few years ago because of a chance. , It is really the most eccentric and eccentric personnel recruitment he has ever done.

In the past few years, Fang Chong really brought him too many surprises.

Fang Chong didn't notice his boss' complicated and surging emotions at all, and he was still talking about this low-key, luxurious and expensive fully automatic car: "Boss, this wheelchair also has a shock-absorbing and decelerating function for going down stairs, so you can walk directly Stairs are made of racing-grade materials, how many tons of pressure and impact can they withstand? Anyway, they are special exercises! The throttle can go directly to the racing track!"

"..." Pei Ci, "The racing track is not necessary."

Just when Hong Yao suspected that Fang Chong's enthusiasm was about to overflow because the electric wheelchair merchant gave him a lot of kickbacks, Li Wu wandered in with a large stack of antique bamboo slips and sheepskin scrolls.

"Boss Hong! All the records of the underworld about the incomplete soul are here! They are all original texts, you can read them casually! When you finish reading, when do you return them! Don't worry!"

Hong Yao glanced at the scroll that was at least two meters high, and made a decisive choice: "I am a military commander, and I can't read big characters. Let Yin Bei come and tell me in person."

"What... what Yin Bei?" Li Wu stammered and asked back.

Hong Yao pursed her lips and said nothing, her eyes were extremely determined, as if everything was under control.

Seeing that Li Wu was still trying to pretend to be stupid, Shi Jiawen couldn't bear it, so he couldn't help persuading him: "Yin Bei doesn't really think that he can always play the image of a master in the dark, does he? Xiao Wu, don't bother to help He covered it up, forget about too many flaws, it can’t be covered up..."

Li Wu, who thought he played the cover very well, was completely stupid: "Xiao Shi, you know that too?!"

Is her support so bad? ! w(OДO)w
