First-level Tea Artist Training Manual

"Would you like to take some time to go shopping by yourself? I'll give you half a day off." Ning Ran asked.

Lin Xike clenched his collar, "I don't want to go, my husband's clothes are quite comfortable for me."

"Don't..." Ning Ran took a deep breath, be nice to people, and speak politely to them, "Don't make trouble, there is no reason to wear people's clothes all the time, return the clothes to me, I will give them to you Buy new ones."

As soon as Lin Xike heard this, he felt that Ning Ran was really hitting him with a gun, and leaned over to ask Ning Ran: "Does your husband want me to take it off here?"

Ning Ran was forced to turn red. He forgot all the things that he said before to be nicer to Lin Xike and be gentler to Lin Xike, and cursed: "Get out!"

Lin Xike was kicked out.

Lu Lan, who was watching the excitement, heard the commotion and came over, thinking that Mr. Ran was holding on to the training so that he was finally no longer alone.Unexpectedly, it was Lin Xike who saw it: "What's wrong with you? Mr. Ran kicked you out? Have a new love?"

Lin Xike didn't know why, didn't the two of you have a good relationship with each other? If you work together, the office.avi is out, why did you drive yourself out?Isn't that how TV shows work?

After work, Ning Ran stuffed a shopping bag into Lin Xike's arms, "I bought it for you, take it to wear."

Lin Xike hugged the clothes in his arms and whispered, "Thank you husband."

Ning Ran was driving the car, but it was not the way home.He drove some distance west, and then turned into a garden.This garden is not simple, imitating the style of Suzhou gardens.The flowing water corridor, the winding path leads to seclusion, and there are green rockery everywhere, creating a unique freehand landscape painting.Before Lin Xike could go around the circle, he heard the faint sound of singing from the garden.

Following the sound, I saw a woman in a cheongsam holding a pipa, plucking the strings and singing Suzhou Pingtan.

The two did not go forward to disturb the woman, but sat in the private seats set up in the corridor, surrounded by a plate of melon seeds and fruits, listening to the music quietly.

Lin Xike didn't know what medicine was sold in Ning Ran's gourd, so he could only sit and listen.Do you want to help Ning Ran peel the oranges and feed them to his mouth?

The singing is round and smooth, and in the corridor of Jiuqu, it is like weeping and complaining.At the end of the song, Ning Ran said: "I remember you loved listening to these little songs a thousand years ago, but times have changed, and the songs have changed accordingly. If you didn't sing these songs a thousand years ago, it's hard to find artists today." The kind of children who start learning to sing are not as good as the ones we listened to back then."

The girl holding the pipa has been learning the art since she was three years old. Every line of the libretto is full of blood and tears, so the singing is particularly flavorful.Go around the inn, whoever gave the money is the uncle, the little girl must have stopped, sat on the bench, and sang "Jiangnan Scenery" affectionately.

"Husband still remembers my hobbies." Lin Xike was also surprised, he didn't think about it after waking up, but Ning Ran noticed it.

"Of course I remember this. When I married you, I invited the best piano repairer in the devil world to sing." Ning Ran was so angry when he talked about this, Lin Xike didn't know how difficult it was to hire a piano repairer. He said that he only sings about ordinary things and not about red things, Ning Ran said many good things before he helped someone call him over, but a sedan chair was picked up, but the inside was empty, "It's good for you, I can't find you."

Ning Ran's tone was full of anger, but time has passed, and thousands of years have passed, these angers are just to make fun of Lin Xike.But Lin Xike looked at Ning Ran suspiciously, he thought that Ning Ran's wedding was just a malicious trick from the beginning to the end, how could Ning Ran hire such a good luthier.What Ning Ran meant just now was clearly to take care of himself, so he hired a luthier.

Could it be that there was something hidden about the wedding back then that I didn't know about?

"Husband—"

Just as Lin Xike was about to ask, he was interrupted by the music that sounded again from the gazebo.Ning Ran was fascinated, and Lin Xike didn't want to disturb him.It wasn't until the end of the song that Lin Xike asked Ning Ran if there was something else hidden in the sentence about taking a concubine back then?

"Didn't I tell you about this?" Ning Ran looked at Lin Xike suspiciously, "I was seriously injured back then, and the Demon Cult was injured by Zuo Wei. The powerful senior brother sat in the town for me, so I sat safely on the position of Demon Venerable. I have taken a fancy to your ability, and in exchange for the blood lotus, the most precious treasure of the Demon Cult, let the head of the Qingyu Sect hand you over to me. On the one hand It was because the Demon Cult really lacked people at the time, and on the other hand, I heard that you were not willing to stay in the Jade Sect, but were locked there...I want to give you freedom."

"Forget it, it's been a thousand years, and the Demon Cult's Qingyu Sect has long since turned into dust, so what's the use of mentioning this? The bridal sedan chair couldn't pick you up either."

This time, it was Lin Xike's turn to be dumbfounded.

He thought that the concubine saying back then was just a joke that Ning Ran humiliated himself, and he thought that the wedding was just a ceremony for the Demon Lord to act recklessly, but he never thought that Ning Ran actually wanted to give himself freedom.

Freedom... He was locked in the 36th generation of Qingyuzong, and he was trapped there forever and could not be reborn forever.He desperately wanted to escape from there. He never thought that besides himself, there was another person looking forward to his freedom.

"My husband and I only met twice back then, why would you trade a treasure like a blood lotus for my freedom?" Lin Xike still refused to believe it, he turned his head and asked Ning Ran.

"Treasures are dead, but people are alive." Ning Ran gnawed the melon seeds indifferently, "not to mention you saved my life."

He doesn't seem to care about this transaction that was made thousands of years ago, also, he has lived for so many years, these things are not worth mentioning in front of the years.He experienced more betrayals and insults in the future.

But for Lin Xike, it was different.

He made an excuse that he wanted to go to the toilet, then left Ning Ran and went to the deep jungle of the garden alone.

After listening to what Ning Ran said just now, Lin Xike only felt unbearable pain in his chest and coughed twice, but he didn't expect to vomit out a ball of blood.

Fortunately, he brought a tissue, Lin Xike wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth in a panic.Suddenly, he felt an abnormality in his chest, and quickly reached out to touch his chest, and there was a faint sound coming from there.

is the heart.

Lin Xike couldn't believe it, he held his breath and went to explore his chest.

It's not an illusion, it's a real heartbeat.

Lin Xike stared blankly at the blood-stained tissue in his hand, and his thoughts drifted far away.

He is not a human being, but an object. He was originally the last sword made by the swordsmith.At that time, the swordsmith had already left his physical body, and he was only one step away from ascending to heaven and becoming an immortal.It took more than ten years for the swordsmith to create Linxike's body, so he regards Linxike as the only sword in his life.Lin Xike is the swordsmith's life-long painstaking efforts, so on the day the sword was completed, the swordsmith left a drop of his heart and soul on the sword.

The heart and blood full of spiritual power spared Lin Xike's years of cultivation, and he formed a spiritual consciousness early.

The swordsmith had great spiritual power and was only one step away from becoming an immortal. Before leaving, he asked Lin Xike to take good care of his wife and children.Lin Xike agreed, and in order to thank him for his kindness in making swords, Lin Xike promised to protect the descendants of the swordsmith for 36 generations.

Life and death are inseparable, good and evil are indistinguishable.

Only then did the swordsmith feel relieved, and ascended to heaven and became a fairy.

For 36 generations, the descendants of the swordsmith did not want to give up Lin Xike.

The omnipotent divine sword that can ascend to heaven and earth is naturally the best to hold in one's own hands.So in order to prevent Lin Xike from defecting, they had already used that drop of blood in Lin Xike's body to turn it into an endless curse, so as to make Lin Xike obey orders.

Lin Xike knew that if he wanted to get rid of the curse and regain his freedom, he could only go to the heaven to find the swordsmith and ask him to take back the drop of blood.

But this matter is easy and easy to say, and it is difficult to say.Lin Xike's spiritual power is enough to ascend to the heavens and survive the thunder disaster.But because of his ruthlessness and lack of heart, he has not experienced love and calamity, so he can't really step into the gate of heaven.That's why he focused on Ning Ran, not for any reason, just because of the joke about taking a concubine.

He thought that Ning Ran was violent, and that it was just a Demon Lord. It was nothing to hurt a relationship. He must have loved others in the past thousands of years, and what he was looking for was only a dispensable affection.The feelings that can be cheated by some tricks will definitely be quickly forgotten by Ning Ran.What's more, he is willing to give him spiritual blood to repair the spiritual veins, Ning Ran should be grateful.

But now......

Ning Ran has never fallen in love with others, and attaches great importance to feelings.

This is far from what he thought.

He didn't know how to face Ning Ran, when Ning Ran really started to show kindness to him, Lin Xike became afraid, he was afraid that Ning Ran would not be able to bear it all was just a scam.And now Ning Ran told him that the purpose of taking a concubine back then was to give him back his freedom.

Ning Ran is not the kind of cruel and ruthless that he imagined, he won the demon king by life and death, he is very good to himself, Lin Xike is not stupid, he can see it, so Lin Xike can't be cruel enough to deceive this person.

The more serious problem now is that Lin Xike doesn't want to leave.

For the first time in thousands of years, his heart was beating because of a human being. This feeling similar to that of a living person is something Lin Xike does not want to forget.His heart is now like a seed, which was planted here by the swordsmith in the early years, and sprouted because of Ning Ran.

But what should he do?

Lin Xike tidied up his clothes, checked that there was no blood on his body, and hurried back to find Ning Ran.Pingtan has finished singing, and the song is over, but Ning Ran still doesn't want to leave, sitting under the moon and waiting for Lin Xike.He seemed still stuck in those little tunes, humming.

Watching Lin Xike come back, Ning Ran asked him to sit with him for a while.

The two of them didn't speak, the moonlight was alluring, Ning Ran leaned against the pillar of the porch, almost falling asleep.

After a while, Ning Ran finally spoke: "Lin Xike, I have been wandering alone for so many years, and I have never felt at home. When my master and sister died in the early years, I was afraid of experiencing this kind of grief again, so I never had any entanglements with ordinary people. But these days, you appeared, and I feel that life has improved a lot. I know that I have a bad temper and speak badly. I will try my best to change it in the future. Sometimes I can’t change it, so you should bear more. "

"We..." Ning Ran opened his eyes, and the red circles around his eyes turned, "How about we get along with each other? If you like it, you can stay. If you don't, you can tell me and leave at any time." You don't have to take what I said as an oath or promise, and I don't believe in everlasting feelings. If you want to, you should accept it. If you don't mean anything to me, just pretend that I didn't say anything tonight."

Ning Ran was waiting for his answer.

Lin Xike clenched his fist, thinking of the little heart in his chest.

Then he raised his face, smiled and said to Ning Ran: "Okay, husband."

True or false.

Now that love is involved, Lin Xike has long been unable to tell what is true and what is false, but now he is alone and unwilling to let Ning Ran out of the game, he can't say the word of rejection.

Ning Ran smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to hold Lin Xike, and let him sit closer to him.From then on, what he left on the ground under the moon is no longer a lonely shadow, he has someone close to him.

And in Lin Xike's chest, that little heart is taking root and sprouting, and one day it will bloom into a brilliant flower.
