Lantern: Reflection of the Peach Blossoms

Chu He opened his eyes.

In the dark, his eyes were clear, without any sleepiness, and he stared at the high ceiling of the bedroom without moving.

Zhou Hui's slight snoring came from beside him, he was very familiar with this sound - this man was completely asleep.

It was not easy, Zhou Hui had not fallen asleep in front of his eyes for a long time.Ever since he was arrested in City H and taken to Beijing, or in other words, since Zhou Hui put a golden ring lock on his waist, he never lost his sanity in front of him again.

In the darkness as dense as ink, Chuhe's thoughts diverged slightly.He wondered if this kind of vigilance was caused by Zhou Hui taking history as a guide to reorganize the country after suffering a loss, or because he was a blood sea monster from the bottom, and had long been buried deep in his bone marrow in the endless fighting and growth day after day. What about character traits?

Anyway, it's worth applauding.

Chu He turned over silently, touched Zhou Hui's chest with his fingers, and inserted them into the chest cavity as easily as if he was picking something out of a bag.

The muscles, blood vessels, and bones seemed to be invisible under his hands. He carefully searched the internal organs with his hands, wandered back and forth in Zhou Hui's body, and said "Huh?" in his heart.

Nowhere... Where will it be hidden?

Zhou Hui snorted unconsciously, and Chu He immediately stopped, staring at his face closely.There was no movement for a long while, and he groped up the abdominal viscera again, until he touched the ventricle very carefully, and his expression changed subtly.

—hanging under the heart.

Thin sweat oozes from the forehead of Chuhe.

He took a deep breath, collected himself, and tried to stabilize his hands as much as possible.The blood vessels below the ventricle are intricate. Chuhe's fingers moved up along the blood vessels bit by bit. After touching the cold and smooth thing, he didn't pull it off. Instead, he touched the surrounding area carefully to make sure After all the knots were untied, he pinched the thing with a very small force and shook it lightly.

Zhou Hui seemed uncomfortable and moved on the pillow.

But fortunately, did not wake up.It seems that the combination of ice spring water and Shura flowers is really powerful, and Ashura Dao sometimes produces some useful things.

Chu He grabbed the cold object, pulled it slightly and quickly, and let it come out of his body——

That's a key.

From the light outside the window, it can be seen that the key is no more than half the size of a little finger. It is an ordinary flat bronze spoon with extremely fine patterns carved on the surface, making it look like a twisted nail or wedge on some kind of bronze utensil. Component.

Chu He squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully for a while, thinking to himself, could it be that Zhou Hui carved such a complicated pattern by himself?I didn't see that he had a hobby of carving things before.

Could it be that he has nothing to do in the past few years, and he sculpts things in private to pass the time?

Chu He let out a barely audible sigh, put away the bronze spoon, took out an ordinary key of similar size from under the pillow, and gently put it into Zhou Hui's chest.

Although it was easier to put than to hold, Chuhe still didn't dare to stretch his hand to his heart, so he hung it lightly on the top of his left rib.In fact, this position is already very close. As long as Zhou Hui is not in a hurry to play with his heart, he will not find that the key inside has been replaced by another key.

Chuhe lightly lay down again.These actions may still have made some noise, Zhou Hui moved in a daze: "...fourth?"

Chuhe didn't answer.

Zhou Hui rolled over and hugged him in his arms, burying his head in his neck and rubbing against him, making a snoring sound.After rubbing for a long time, Chu He finally patted his strong back with his backhand, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nightmare..." Zhou Hui lazily said, "I dreamed that you ran away with that idiot Fan Luo, leaving me alone at home with the two children..."

"Your children won't stay at home obediently."

Zhou Hui's half-dream and half-awake consciousness was rather vague, and it took him a while to understand, and he couldn't help laughing.He stuffed Chuhe into his arms, just about to let himself fall into a dark dream again, but suddenly remembered something in his mind, and suddenly got up: "Oops!"

"--What's wrong?"

Zhou Hui sat on the bed, staring at him without blinking, and didn't speak for a long time.

No matter how calm Chu He was, he was slightly discolored by this gaze. After a moment of stalemate, he narrowed his eyes and asked tentatively, "What happened?"

"I... didn't pay the bill." Zhou Hui finally murmured after a long while, with a delicate expression on his face: "I told them that tonight's treat... forgot to pay when I left."

"..." Chuhe's forehead twitched: "It's okay, let Zhang Shun tie."

·

Zhang Shun did not settle, and Yu Jingzhong paid the money.

Before Yu Jingzhong came to the bar, he was in a very good mood.

In the afternoon, he went to the hospital to pick up Yan Lanyu. He heard from the doctor that Yan Lanyu was recovering very well. The prescriptions prescribed by Zhou Hui were very effective. Yan Lanyu went to buy things for living in Beijing. She bought him clothes, shoes and socks, daily necessities, and computers.

Although Deputy Yu doesn't have the money-making means of those team leaders, and is often ridiculed by the crowd as a poor civil servant, at least he has saved up a Beijing house.The location of the house is not bad, between the [-]th and [-]th ring roads, the east-facing bedroom has been vacant since I moved in, just enough to move Yan Lanyu in.

He drove Yan Lanyu home to set things up, and wanted someone to help him download various software on the computer, but Yan Lanyu blocked him before making a call, saying, "It's okay, I'll do it myself."

"Will you?" Yu Jingzhong was a little suspicious.

Yan Lanyu smiled, but did not answer.

Although Yu Jingzhong doubted that Yan Lanyu was such a senior in the Tantric School in Tokyo, whether he had ever gone to school, and whether he knew the basic knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry; but he felt that Yan Lanyu should be relatively sensitive in his heart, and he didn't want to give him any feeling of being hurt. So I pretended to trust it and ignored it.

Deputy Yu's two-year-old daughter was taken to the daycare center by the nanny, and the two ordered some takeaway at home for lunch.Yan Lanyu's gestures in daily life are very elegant. It can be imagined that she has been trained. When eating, she is silent and very fast. She hardly hears any sound, and she puts down her chopsticks within 10 minutes.

Yu Jingzhong quickly swallowed the shredded fish-flavored pork in his mouth: "Don't you want to eat more? It doesn't suit your taste, does it?"

"No," Yan Lanyu said, "I didn't eat much in the first place."

Vice Yu usually seldom eats at home, and occasionally he doesn't clean up after eating at home. He throws all the dishes in the kitchen sink and waits for the nanny to wash them.But today he insisted on washing the dishes after dinner, and pushed Yan Lanyu, who asked if she needed help, to sit down on the sofa in the living room, and said righteously: "Are you kidding me! I love washing dishes the most. I don't care if others come to my house to wash dishes." Don't worry!"

Then he turned around, rinsed every bowl in the kitchen with a big splash of water, and stuffed them all into the cupboard.

Yan Lanyu was sitting upright on the sofa in the living room, neither looking around nor speaking, like a well-bred and reserved guest.From Yu Jingzhong's angle, he could see his profile, but he couldn't see what he was thinking at all, it seemed that even the air around his body seemed particularly quiet and silent.

Yu Jingzhong was very entangled, thinking about it while wiping his hands with an apron in the kitchen.After pondering for a long time, the old man suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and immediately ran to peel an apple, cut it into pieces, put toothpicks on it, and brought it to the living room: "Apple is a good thing, eat it first, and I will buy it tomorrow." A squab came back to make soup for you."

Yan Lanyu froze for a moment, took the fruit plate, and smiled at him.

——This smile made Yu Jingzhong's good mood last for a day.

However, after arriving at the bar in the evening, he was in no mood.

When he and Yan Lanyu went to the bar near Gongti, Zhang Shun was sitting and playing with his mobile phone bored. He didn't drink because of his hand injury. There was a Coca-Cola in the bar with a price tag of 80 yuan in front of him. Turned a blind eye to it; Shenwan Tiansi had already finished three cups of 80 yuan Coke, why he didn't want to go to the bathroom, and was chewing ice cubes, while learning to make handprints from a comic book with relish: "Hey! Clone technique!"

Li Hu is very happy no matter what, wearing ten centimeter high heels, twisting his waist and hips on the dance floor, his miniskirt is so short that he seems to be going out at any time, and his seaweed-like curly hair flicks and flicks, attracting wild screams and cheers from around.

Seeing her like that, Yu Jingzhong felt a headache, and asked while holding his forehead, "Where are Zhou Hui and Feng Si?"

"Feng Si came here just now and mixed a glass of wine for Zhou Hui, and then the two of them left together." Shen Wantian said without raising his head: "Based on Zhou Hui's reaction, Feng Si's tune should be It's not wine but aphrodisiacs, but it doesn't matter, the key is who pays today's bill... the technique of shadow clone!"

Zhang Shun pointed to Li Hu: "Woman." He pointed to Shen Wantiansi: "Child." Then he pointed to himself: "The wounded." Then he raised his head and looked at Yu Jingzhong expectantly.

"..." Yu Jingzhong said angrily: "So you called me seven or eight times on the way to urge me to come here just to find someone to pay the bill, right?"

Shenwan Tiansi didn't raise his head: "——Shadow Clone Technique!"

Countless black lines appeared on Deputy Yu's head. He just felt that if he became the leader of such a group of people, his career in this life would be hopeless. Why don't you resign and go back to your hometown to become a police officer at a police station? Maybe it would be easier to go on a blind date in a small city Looking for a wife?

"Don't worry, we didn't drink too much. You see, it's all Coke. The 100 yuan a tube of potato chips Shenwan Tiansi didn't even ask for too much." Seeing Yu Fu's violent face, Zhang Shun comforted him, pointing to the table : "Just Zhou Hui opened a bottle of whiskey, here, there is still some money left, would you like a glass?"

——Actually, Yu Jingzhong didn’t think about money at first, he was thinking about the confusion and distress deeper than money; but as soon as Zhang Shun said, his eyes fell on the whiskey bottle on the table. The trademark instantly hit the sensitive nerves of poor civil servants.

In the next second, Yu Fu's roar went straight to Huanyu: "Zhou Hui, I x your sister——!"

Yan Lanyu sat on the sidelines and watched without saying a word. When Shen Wantiansi formed his handprint for the eighth time and shouted: "Shadow Clone Technique!", he suddenly said: "...the seal is wrong."

"It's drawn like this in the comics," Shen Wantiansi said in a daze, ignoring everything around him, just staring at the comic book.

"The avatar technique is not any of the five-element seals of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, but the 'third element' of the four-element seal of the fighters facing the battle. You can try to change the closing gesture to the outer lion seal." Yan Lanyu said, " However, I suggest you not to try it here, because you have enough energy and a secret background, if you really summon dozens of clones, it will be difficult to deal with."

Shenwan Tiansi raised his head.

When he was in the hospital, he also looked at Yan Lanyu from a distance, but at that time the latter was being rescued in the ICU, and through the glass wall and breathing mask, he couldn't see clearly what she looked like.This was the first time he looked at Yan Lanyu face to face, at such a close distance, he could clearly see the slightly drooping thick eyelashes one by one.

"You are……"

Yan Lanyu casually made a gesture of the Great Vajra Wheel Seal, smiled and nodded.

Although the young onmyoji was dressed in plain clothes, he had a calm demeanor, gentle eyes, softness and coldness that gods and ghosts would not dare to get close to, and his handsome demeanor was indescribable.

The manga in Shenwan Tiansi's hand snapped off, but instead of picking it up, he raised his hand and pressed it tightly to his chest: "I..." He said in a daze, "...I found true love."
