Lantern: Reflection of the Peach Blossoms

This evening, not only was Deputy Yu unhappy, but Shenwan Tiansi was also unhappy.

He wriggled with difficulty on the booth sofa, and said in a low voice, "I think your act of tying up the living Buddha is too much. Do you still have a little basic reverence for the Buddha?"

Li Hu clasped her hands together, her face full of compassion, and she was wearing a low-cut tight miniskirt like a spotless white lotus: "Amitabha - benefactor, look at us here, Boss Zhou destroyed Buddha in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Feng Si rebelled against the way of heaven, old man The third is the zombie repairer, I am a nine-tailed fox demon; even Deputy Yu smokes and drinks alcohol, and when he finds time, he even makes a date with a little kiss, why do you think we respect you?"

Deputy Yu said angrily, "I didn't go on a blind date to have sex!"

"..." Shenwan Tiansi struggled and called for help: "Ma Ma! Ma Ma help me——!"

"You Mama and your papa went home happily." Li Hu said lovingly, "By the way, Feng Si is really not your mother, but her mother's love was so overwhelming that she picked you up and fed you for a few days. Great lamas in Tibetan areas When I sent someone to ask for it, I returned it to you—the milk powder was purchased from Australia, and it was packaged in three stages in US dollars.”

Shenwan Tiansi said angrily: "Don't implant the hard cord at this time!" He twisted desperately trying to get out of the rope.

It's a pity that a 17-year-old living Buddha can't resist the demon power of the 3000-year-old nine-tailed fox. Shen Wantiansi can only lie on the sofa with his buttocks in the sky, mourning his true love that was suppressed by the powerful before it even started.Li Hu turned around and cast a wink at Deputy Yu who was sitting on the side drinking, and said triumphantly: "Well, let me say that I am on the side of you, a middle-aged uncle, remember to praise me to Boss Zhou ah."

Yu Jingzhong couldn't laugh or cry: "I really didn't go on a blind date or have sex..."

"It's okay if you think about it. Besides, as a 30-year-old mature uncle, it's okay to have a shot once in a while." Li Hu said sharply: "Living without sex for a long time is easy to get prostatitis. Do you want to get prostatitis? As a Human beings will die if they get a disease casually."

"I don't think there is any direct connection between being clean and self-sufficient and dying of illness..."

"Zhou Hui won't stay in Guoan after you're dead. If Zhou Hui isn't in Fengsi, he won't be here. If they both leave, the second, third, fifth, and I will leave too." Li Hu said: " In this way, the country is far inferior to the little devil and the little stick in terms of power in the underworld war, so for the sake of national security, you should go to make an appointment now and then. Huh? Right, Brother Yan?"

Yan Lanyu didn't answer, she sat on the edge and drank water.

Deputy Yu looked desperately at Li Hu, then at Yan Lanyu, as if he wanted to say something, but Nine-Tailed Fox didn't give him a chance.

"Oh wait, I forgot that you have a 'scavenger' under your command." Li Hu blinked slyly, and said, "Although the scavenger is a bit withdrawn, he is much more reliable than Boss Zhou, who occasionally has a bad temper." , The birth incident in City H and the last national security turmoil incident were all brought to an end by him. Boss Zhou also said that if Scavenger can grow up like this, there will be no problem sweeping Southeast Asia by himself in the future."

"I want to explain..."

"Speaking of which, thanks to the fact that you rescued the scavenger from prison before the death penalty, where would you find such a loyal subordinate. Hey, in fact, he is good at everything, but his personality is too withdrawn. I have never I heard him speak to people other than you, back then I thought he was dumb..."

Yan Lanyu stood up and said apologetically, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Deputy Yu hurriedly put down his glass: "I'll go with you—"

"Go around the dance floor and go through the end of the corridor," Li Hu enthusiastically pointed out.

Yan Lanyu nodded, walked out of the booth around Guo Jingzhong, and disappeared on the bustling dance floor in a flash.

Yu Jingzhong sat down very depressed, lit a cigarette and asked Li Hu: "What the hell do you want to do? It's not like you don't know that he is sensitive!" He kicked the little Living Buddha who was writhing indiscriminately and almost fell off the sofa. go back.

"Psychological sensitivity and tolerance are two different things..." Li Hu smiled and picked up the bottle of whiskey left by Zhou Hui, poured it into the wine glass in front of the deputy, and suddenly changed the subject without waiting for the other party's answer: "—But, Today I finally understand Feng Si a little bit."

"what?"

Li Hu smiled without saying a word, and put the wine glass in front of the deputy.

She remembered that when she was a little fox, she was stinged by poisonous stings that year, lying under a tree, looking at the dark and poisonous sky above the forest, shivering and making weak calls.As time passed, its body temperature became lower and lower, its cry became weaker and weaker, and its vision was gradually blurred due to the gradual loss of life; just when death was about to come, it was suddenly embraced by a pair of warm hands .

It tried its best to open its eyes, and saw a pair of downcast gentle eyes in a haze.

Many years later, Nine-Tailed Fox, who has cultivated into the top monster in the animal way, has guessed countless times how the high-ranking Phoenix Ming Wang noticed that he was wailing under a tree waiting to die, and what kind of mood he had when he stopped. , holding a vile, despicable, dirty little demon fox into her arms.

It doesn't know.

But when it saw Yan Lanyu sitting there quietly drinking water, it suddenly felt a little bit of the feeling back then.

It must be that kind of indescribable feeling.

"Amitabha, little beauty, the poor demon can only help you here..." Li Hu looked at Vice Yu as he drank the whiskey, feeling moved in his heart.

·

Yan Lanyu washed her face, turned off the tap, and took two tissues to wipe her face.

He opened his eyes and saw a man behind him in the bathroom mirror, staring at him while wiping his hands.

"I'm sorry," the man saw Yan Lanyu's gaze in the mirror, and smiled, "When you came in just now, I thought you were wearing makeup, at least foundation, so after you washed your face...well, I was just curious."

"It's okay." Yan Lanyu put down the tissue and walked outside.

Unexpectedly, the man suddenly turned around to block his footsteps, and said with a smile, "Well, what's your name? How about I treat you to a drink?"

——This person is actually not ugly. He is about 30 years old. He is tall and well dressed without identifying the brand, but he is wearing a watch that is famous for being expensive.Yan Lanyu looked down and noticed his manicured nails and spotless leather shoes.

This type of man generally has a high success rate in striking up a conversation in a bar, both for men and women.

"No, I don't drink."

"Then go have a cup of tea, I know there is a very famous tea house nearby..."

"I came with my friends," Yan Lanyu politely refused, and walked around the man.However, after walking two steps, he stopped again, turned around and said, "Sir, there are people behind you, be careful."

The man was terrified, but when he turned around, he saw Yan Lanyu pointing at his back.What he couldn't see was a blood-stained face protruding silently behind him, his eyes full of resentment leaped over his shoulder, staring coldly at the young Onmyoji.

Yan Lanyu didn't take it seriously, turned around and walked out of the bathroom.

·

Yan Xiaomei returned to her seat and immediately panicked.

"He only drank two cups and that's it..." For some reason, Li Hu's expression was a little subtle, as if he was trying to hide some unknown guilty conscience: "I only planned to give him a drink, but Tiansi just now Falling off the sofa, I hit him casually a few times, and when I turned around, I saw Yu Fu drank the entire bottom of the wine bottle..."

Deputy Yu fell on the sofa with a flushed face and was unconscious. Yan Lanyu tried to help him up, but the drunk man was terribly heavy.Yan Lanyu stood on the side with a little nerve-wracking, directly ignoring Shen Wantiansi who kept twisting ("Leave him alone, my love! What's so good about a middle-aged uncle! Come and save me, my love!"), and asked Li Hu: "Can you help me move him to the car?"

"Call Zhang Shun, I'm a delicate girl." Li Hu kicked Zhang Shun, who was about to hatch a bird on his head when he was bored. Hearing this, he pulled Yu Jingzhong up, "Humph!" Carrying him halfway on his shoulders: "I think this guy is really strong... Can you drive? How about calling a taxi for you two?"

"It's okay, I will drive." Yan Lanyu said, and waved politely to Li Hu and Shen Wantiansi: "Then let's go first, see you later."

"Go home and give him cold water!" Li Hu chased after him worriedly and urged: "It's not cold this day! Drinking cold water is good for your health!"

Yan Lanyu waved her hand to signal that she understood, and together with Zhang Shun, they carried Yu Jingzhong outside the bar and stuffed them into Deputy Yu's specially modified second-hand Mercedes-Benz.

After all, they were friends who had experienced life and death together. Zhang Shun was more concerned. When he saw Yan Lanyu got into the car and turned on the ignition, he asked a little worriedly: "You really know how to drive? How about I send you back and take a taxi back?" Got it."

"I really know how to drive, do you all think of me as a petite flower who can't eat fireworks?" Yan Lanyu smiled, "I can also do software engineering, can't you think of it."

Zhang Shun was taken aback, and saw Yan Lanyu skillfully reversed the car, turned around, waved her hand from the window, and drove into the torrent of flashing lights on Bar Street at night.

"...I'm just kidding," Zhang Ershao thought with twitching corners of his mouth.

Yan Lanyu stopped in front of the red light, her eyes fell on the side view mirror by accident, and she froze.

Outside the back door of the bar, the man who accosted him in the bathroom just now came out with his arms around a teenager.The young man had dyed hair, was very dusty, scantily dressed and was drunk. He didn't know how much alcohol he had been given.

Yan Lanyu hesitated for a moment.

But when the green light came on, the car behind him honked to urge him, so he stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

The traffic flow in Beijing at night is not covered either, the traffic jams stop and go all the way, and it takes almost an hour to get home after driving.Yan Lanyu parked the car in the apartment building, turned off the engine, and turned to help Yu Jingzhong in the passenger seat.

However, Yu Fu seemed to wake up in a daze, and muttered: "... who is it?"

"Got home."

Yu Jingzhong didn't make a sound or move for a long while.Yan Lanyu reached out to help again, but Yu Fu suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him restlessly, with bloodshot eyes.

Yan Lanyu frowned slightly, got out of the car and opened the co-pilot's door, and asked, "Can you get down by yourself?"

Yu Jingzhong looked at him with his head tilted, as if he was thinking about something carefully, and he staggered down while holding on to the car door. He almost staggered and fell when he landed, but was caught by Yan Lanyu.

"……Um?"

Yan Lanyu was a little taken aback.

Yu Jingzhong was an expatriate agent in his early years—he was really a top agent among the agents, not to mention outstanding in all aspects, but also very comprehensive and excellent without any shortcomings.In terms of physical fitness, he is much better than the average person. Although he doesn't look too obvious in the clothes, the muscle fibers are very, very compact, especially the back and arm area, and there is almost no fat.

Generally speaking, such people are strong and solid, but they will not appear too arrogant.

However, at this time, as soon as Yan Lanyu helped him, he could feel his body temperature under the clothes was extremely high, and his muscles were very tense, even a stone-like feeling.

...No problem, he thought to himself, the nine-tailed fox didn't drink anything inexplicable, right?

"Who are you?" Yu Jingzhong staggered a few steps, then suddenly asked hoarsely.

"Passerby A." Yan Lanyu said casually, and helped him to the elevator. Just as he pressed the button, Yu Jingzhong suddenly pushed him hard: "...Go away!"

The push was caught off guard, and Yan Lanyu almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, she leaned against the wall after a few steps. Before she recovered, she saw Yu Jingzhong was still panting heavily, and shouted: "Go away! Go away!"

The next second, the elevator door dinged open, and Yu Fu immediately fell into it.

"..." The corners of Yan Lanyu's mouth twitched, and she walked into the elevator slowly while pressing her shoulders, only to see that Yu Jingzhong had staggered up by himself and was leaning against the elevator wall rubbing his head.Under the light, the man's exposed body parts began to turn red, especially the neck and the back of the ears. If the weather was colder, it would probably be steaming by this time, and he looked a bit masculine.

This is so unusual.

Yu Fu is the kind of man who is firm on the inside but fleshy on the outside.You can call him chivalrous and tender, or call him cowardly, in short, he is the kind of person who will deliberately go around when he sees a dead bird while driving on the road.

His strength does not lie on the surface, it is hidden in his heart.This kind of person should not radiate too much oppression.

The elevator ascended slowly, stopped at the designated floor, and opened again with a ding.Yu Jingzhong staggered out, looking around in a daze, it took him a long time to barely recognize that the door of his house was the one on the left, he leaned on the wall and walked over, and began to dig out the keys in his trousers pocket.

But the bottom of Li Hu's whiskey bottle was so strong that Yu Jingzhong was so drunk that he couldn't get it out after fumbling for the key for a long time.After several minutes, Yan Lanyu finally couldn't bear it anymore, stepped forward to find the key in his trouser pocket, and just when she was about to take it out, she froze suddenly.

This time he was really short-circuited, but the reality didn't give him much time to react.

Yu Jingzhong grabbed him, his eyes were loose but full of anger, and he shouted, "Why are you still here?"

Yan Lanyu's first reaction was: Where else can I go?

But then he was grabbed by Yu Jingzhong's arm, and the force made him feel that his elbow might be pulled out of his joint: "Yu... Yu Jingzhong!"

Yu Jingzhong turned a deaf ear to it.He held the key in the other hand and aligned it with the keyhole. It took a long time before he inserted it, and opened the door with a click, and then pushed Yan Lanyu into the door indiscriminately!

Yan Lanyu fell silently on the carpet.

The carpet was thick and he felt no pain, but in the dark he heard the door shut.Yan Lanyu turned over and sat on the ground, only to see Yu Jingzhong staggered to his knees and grabbed his shoulders.

In the next second, breath with the smell of wine and tobacco sprayed on his neck, followed by a hot and urgent kiss.

Yan Lanyu looked a little stunned, he didn't know how to react.

Should I obey or resist, or pretend not to know?

"Don't move, don't move..." Yu Jingzhong's voice was hoarse and unconscious, and he tore at his clothes indiscriminately. His actions were so rough that even a few buttons of his clothes were pulled off.In the chaos, Yan Lanyu felt a bit of regret, wondering if an old man living alone would have a sewing box at home, what if he didn't have one, would he have to throw away the newly bought clothes?

Or just find a corner and stuff it in, pretending nothing happened?

He himself didn't know why he was distracted thinking of this, he was suddenly pushed down when he was in a trance, and he lay on the carpet on his back, Yu Jingzhong propped up his upper body and looked at him.

The two stared at each other for a long time, the living room was dark with no lights on, only the light from the street lamp outside the window came in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and farther away, there was the sound of vehicles whizzing by on the road.

"..." Yan Lanyu finally stretched out her hand, pressing Yu Jingzhong's neck towards her.

While breathing hard, he slowly pressed a kiss on the man's lips.

·

For Yu Jingzhong, the situation after waking up the next morning seemed to be very complicated.

He opened his eyes on the big messy bed, and the sunlight made his eyes sting.He closed his eyes, rubbed his temples and sat up, feeling the hangover headache tearing at every nerve like a saw.

What happened last night?

Oh yes, I went to the bar to pay that guy Zhou Hui who evaded orders, got drunk by Li Hu, and fell unconscious in the booth of the bar...

How did you come back?

Yu Jingzhong opened his eyes, took a breath, and suddenly felt something was wrong in the next second.

He turned his head, because his neck was so stiff that this simple movement seemed to slow down frame by frame in a movie.

There was another person on the bed.

——It's Yan Lanyu.

The young man was sleeping in the morning light, his soft black hair scattered on the snow-white pillow, and he knew that the body under the messy quilt was as naked as him without looking.What is even more shocking is that there are red or purple marks on Yan Lanyu's neck, chest, and even the large area of ​​exposed back. Most of them are blood spots, which are especially obvious on fair to transparent skin, and some places have begun to turn blue. .

Yu Jingzhong sat for several minutes, his mind was empty.

After a long while, he finally worked up the courage to open the quilt, took a look inside, then closed it immediately, and got out of bed.

With trembling hands, he began to look for clothes—scattered clothes stretched from the living room to the door of the bedroom. After searching for a long time, he couldn't find a jacket. In desperation, he randomly found a set of trousers. He just had his strong upper body naked and moved lightly. He slipped out of the bedroom like a thief, went to the study at the other end of the corridor and closed the door.

After confirming that the movement could not reach the bedroom, he grabbed his cell phone and dialed Zhou Hui's number.

·

At the same time, in a duplex apartment in the neighborhood next door, Chu He was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows with a coffee in his hand, and heard Zhou Hui's cell phone ringing at the dining table.

Zhou Hui took a shower in the bathroom, his high-pitched singing was mixed with the rushing water—today was the opera "Turandot".If he went to the 33rd heaven to hold a solo concert, he might be punished like a peacock swallowing a Buddha, but Chuhe's temperament has been smoothed out in thousands of years of marriage.His expression remained unchanged in the ears of the magic voice, picked up the phone to connect, and said calmly: "Hello?"

Yu Jingzhong's voice sounded very strange: "Where's Zhou Hui?"

"Bather. What's the matter?"

Ten minutes later, Zhou Hui walked out of the bathroom while wiping his hair, and saw Chu He sitting at the breakfast table, smiling while spreading butter on the bread.

Zhou Hui thought he had misread it, so he suddenly stopped and took a closer look, wondering, "...what's wrong?"

"Deputy Yu called you just now."

"...Aha?"

"It's nothing." Chuhe smiled and blinked at him, and said, "I just told him that there is no such thing as a time machine in the world."

Volume [-] Snow Mountain Goddess

Chapter 32 Even so, Phoenix King Ming should be a very beautiful and attractive corpse

Three hours later, Zhou Hui's office.

Li Hu sneaked his head out from the corner and asked, "How is your boss Zhou feeling now?"

A group of team members are all very energetic young men with a relatively high average appearance, and they are used to being molested by Li Hu.The two team members standing guard at the door at the moment suddenly saw the serious (un)serious appearance of the Nine-Tailed Fox team leader, and they all felt very strange: "I don't know, it's not the same as usual?"

The other laughed and said, "What did the sixth team leader do to offend our boss?"

Li Hu snorted: "I work so hard every day on business, why did I offend your boss." Then he lowered his voice and asked: "—Did you see Vice President Yu in the morning?"

"Deputy Director Yu has something to go to a meeting, he seems not in good spirits." The team member on the left couldn't help teasing: "The sixth group leader must have done something bad, right, don't you put Deputy Yu to sleep yesterday? Oh, let's just say, Deputy Yu has been exhausted today..."

"What are you talking about?" Zhou Hui suddenly opened the door with a cold face: "Who slept who, huh?"

The two young men fell silent immediately, watching their noses, noses, and hearts, standing there motionless like clay sculptures.

Li Hu coughed in the center of Zhou Hui's menacing gaze, and slowly walked out from the corner.She didn't wear high heels anymore, she didn't wear a miniskirt anymore, she was carrying a black suitcase in a proper manner, she curled her neck and said flatteringly: "Hello, Boss Zhou."

Zhou Hui was very dignified: "Come in!"

Li Hu snuggled into the office against the corner, only to hear the door close behind him, and then Zhou Hui kicked her three meters away: "Sinister! I knew I made you into a fox fur scarf, it's all phoenixes!" Get used to it!"

With a bang, Li Hu fell face down on the ground, got up and said aggrievedly: "I just wanted to let him take a sip! It's a little medicine for love, who knew he drank it all?" , blame me?!"

Zhou Hui said: "You're really screwed. This morning the superior is going to hold a hearing on the little beauty and ask him about the details of his coming to China from the Tantric Sect in Tokyo. Deputy Yu should have left after sending him to the hearing. As a result, I followed him all the way in a trance, and almost broke into the venue. The people above felt that Yu Fu was not in a normal state. After sending the good words to Guoan, he ran into Feng Si head-on..."

"Isn't it all right? Deputy Yu didn't die, and the little beauty didn't get killed on the bed!" Li Hu felt deeply wronged, and he obviously did good things but didn't get rewarded: "So you called me this morning and scolded me Why the meal, could it be that Yu Fuyao was so strong that he molested Feng Si?"

"Get out!" Zhou Hui said violently, "It's not that you don't know that Feng Si was born with a big buff of a psychological mentor, and the words 'I am a bosom friend' were written on his face. Join us, the people in the Liberated Areas will go out for a small meeting as if they saw the blue sky!"

Zhou Hui was sitting in the armchair with an extremely impatient expression on his face, he smashed the documents in his hands and threw them on the desk: "Feng Si asked me for an hour's leave! Lao Yu personally promised to send the person back intact! From 10 minutes ago, there will be a whole hour when Feng Si is out of my perception!" He pointed at Li Hu, and said heartbrokenly: "It's all because of you!"

"..." Li Hu said seriously: "I think you need a psychological mentor more, go and see it quickly."

Zhou Hui was really irritable, sitting there looking at his watch.Li Hu has heard a saying that people's eyes contain unknown biological energy. If this is true, Zhou Hui's Vacheron Constantin will explode due to overheating of the energy in five minutes.

"Can you restrain your perverted desire for control a little bit?" Li Hu couldn't help holding his forehead, put the black suitcase on the table with a bang, and said, "It's not enough to go from here to the nearest hell to the human world, right?" , are you still worried about Feng Sifei’s success? Now that you’re an ex-wife, don’t be so sensitive about the color of your hat. If you’re a man, you have to face up to the dripping blood and live a green life!”

Zhou Hui obviously didn't want to talk nonsense with Nine-Tailed Fox, so he stared at the suitcase coldly and asked, "What is this?"

Li Hu entered the password and opened the suitcase with a click.Suddenly, a gust of cold white air gushed out from the gap, and because of the high temperature in the office, a drop of water immediately condensed on the surrounding tabletops.

"The thing you asked me to find in City H is really under that grotto. I wanted to give it to you immediately after rushing back to Beijing yesterday, but you left first at the bar."

Li Hu opened the whole suitcase, only to see the white air rushing out, and the whole office suddenly dropped by five degrees.

"Your random thought made me run around in Beijing H city, squatting under the grotto and digging for a long time, but I was beaten when I came back." Li Hu rubbed his head and said angrily: "No wonder the child looks for a stepfather, and the wife becomes an ex-wife. Now I support Feng Si's derailment to find a second spring in her life."

Zhou Hui was too lazy to beat her: "When you helped Feng Si to make the evidence of derailment, help him leave me inexplicably when I go to find the Magic Zun, do you already support him to find the second spring? Do you know that after this incident, I was 33 after this happened. I was [-] after this happened. How many times have the gods and Buddhas in the sky been called over to scold him, they all said that the reason why King Fenghuang betrayed the Demon King was because he was heartbroken for cheating on me, how could Nima be heartbroken!"

Li Hu admitted his cowardice, stopped talking, and just stared at the suitcase.

The white gas dissipated little by little as the temperature in the room dropped, and the situation inside gradually became clearer. There was a transparent glass jar fixed with a bracket in the box. Zhou Hui recognized that it was the best available on the market. A good miniature refrigeration facility, as long as the electricity is sufficient, the temperature in the tank can drop to minus one hundred degrees for 48 hours.

And in the refrigeration tank, there is a small lotus-shaped support that is very precise and secure, holding a round and clear red bead the size of a thumb.

In the air-conditioning, the red bead exuded an indescribably gorgeous halo, as bright as a cold star in the nine heavens, and also like an extremely concentrated fire.Zhou Hui's handsome side face was somewhat obscured by the light, and it took him a while to hear him softly say: "It's true...it's really worth it."

"What is this?" Li Hu asked curiously.

Zhou Hui asked without answering, "How did you find this thing?"

"It was dug out. On the day I brought Zhang Shun to Beijing from City H, you told me that there might be something under the grotto, so I turned around and took a plane back to City H overnight. The scavenger was preparing for the accident at the scene Sealing the grotto, I begged him for a long time, almost kneeling before he let go..."

Zhou Hui said: "If you tempt him with things like 'Let me in, I'll sleep with you', I think it's normal for people to ignore you, then what?"

"I think he is still a little tempted, because although he didn't answer me a word from the beginning to the end, at least he accompanied me to dig the soil for a night." Li Hu said optimistically: "I didn't dig out of the grotto until the next day. I found this in a three-foot-deep ground vein, and it was already half-melted into the soil at that time, and it melted when I saw the light and heat. I had no choice but to buy this frozen jar before I brought it out. ——In the final analysis, what is this What? How do you know there should be something in the grotto?"

Zhou Hui picked up the jar and narrowed his sharp eyes.

Under the red light, his pupils were slightly bloodshot, because his handsome face was a bit evil, and he had a kind of treachery like a legendary vampire.

"I know what it is...but not what it's for."

He looked at Hongzhu, and said slowly: "However, when I was in City H, I wondered why Feng Si was so desperate to keep Maha in the grotto, and he immediately turned his face when Mozun took Maha away. As a result, I lacked foreign aid from the Demon Realm, and I was escorted back to Beijing without any resistance... Sure enough, there was a reason."

Li Hu wondered: "Is it related to this bead?"

"——Phoenix took the scourge of God for Maha back then, and I pulled him out at the last moment when his real body was burned, and he rushed back to the scene of the fire in human form." Zhou Hui gently put the frozen jar on the table with his backhand, and said: " This is what he took out—the eyeball of the phoenix, which he dug out from his own wreckage."

·

At the same time, Deputy Yu sat cross-legged on the sofa chair in the tea room, smoking a cigarette without saying a word.

The little waiter was standing on the side, holding the teapot at a loss.He is obviously a newcomer. I don’t know whether to remind everyone to refrain from smoking indoors and protect the environment is everyone’s responsibility.

"What are you doing?" Yu Jingzhong finally raised his head, motioning to the empty teacup in front of him: "Pour it down."

It was good that he didn't speak, but when he raised his head, the little brother was frightened.I saw bloodshot eyes, stubble on the chin, scratches on the muscles of the neck, and crumpled brand-name shirts like street stalls; this picture is a living history of suffering in the three northeastern provinces. It's written all over your face.

The waiter stammered: "First, sir, smoking is not allowed in our box..."

"Let me come." Chuhe got up and took the teapot from him, his movements were gentle and could not be refused: "You go down first."

The waiter hesitated for a moment, and silently retreated to the door, but the door was not completely closed.Chu He didn't care, and filled up Tieguanyin for Deputy Yu himself, and asked, "Why did you think of asking me, shouldn't you go to Zhou Hui for such a thing?"

With a cigarette between his fingers, Yu Jingzhong rubbed his temples irritably: "I asked Zhou Hui a long time ago, but he disagreed. Damn, you're still urging me to hurry up at this moment, is it because my funeral is not too lively?"

"Hurry up for what?"

"Yan Lanyu!"

Chuhe poured himself a cup of tea and said, "Although I don't recommend you to do this, I also don't agree with your request to delete Yan Lanyu's memory last night. After all, why do you want to interfere with Yan Lanyu's memory, but want to keep your own?" ?”

Yu Jingzhong extinguished his cigarette, lit another one with a sullen face, and took a deep breath.

"If I hadn't known you for so long, I would almost have thought you were a scumbag who never confessed to you... Although you are not far away now." Chu He seemed to be quite interested, and asked, "Do you have any special reasons? If you can convince me, there is no room for change in this matter."

Deputy Yu finally raised his eyes from the curling white smoke—the man's mature appearance is also quite sad, and the forehead lines appeared immediately: "I don't want him to die for me a third time, is this a good reason?"

Chuhe wondered: "Oh?"

"The first time he saw me, he almost died; the second time he saw me, he almost died. Fourth brother, you and Zhou Hui have lived for tens of thousands of years, and you know what it is to face death Does it taste like? Especially when you send yourself to the place where you face death like a sacrifice, do you know what it feels like?"

"I really know," Chuhe laughed, looking down at the steam in the teacup, "but only for my own children... that's not the point, you continue."

"Let me tell you, this child has lived in a place like Tantric Sect for too long, and he can grab even a little body temperature of a normal person as a life-saving straw. I am not as good as he imagined, I am just an ordinary person , but in the first ten years of his life, he had never met an ordinary person at all, so when he saw one by chance, he felt that it was so rare, and he thought he was in love without thinking about himself, that was all an illusion."

"Are you feeling inferior?" Chuhe asked with a smile.

"I just have a clear understanding of myself," Yu Jingzhong pointed to himself, and said, "If I'm a little mean, I'll hang out with him like this. Anyway, I took Minmin with me, and I don't plan to look for it anymore. Let’s talk about it in a few years or ten years. But Yan Lanyu doesn’t know what he’s doing now. When he grows up, matures, and sees more people, if he looks back at me, he will feel that he has been old all these years. Dog. The best time of his life was wasted on me."

Chuhe was still laughing, "Then why don't you delete your own memory as well?"

Yu Jingzhong shook his neck and waved his hand, saying: "Anyway, let him forget about it, and then I will send him to school properly, get to know his peers better, and then it doesn't matter whether I find a girl to have a baby or find a boy to make a baby. Live with me, as long as I live and see him happy, I can close my eyes when I die. As for the things I left behind, he and Minmin will share them equally. Fortunately, after the mortgage is paid off, it will be easy to sell..."

"I can barely accept this reason," Chuhe said, "but I still think that you have deprived him of the right to make choices now, and the choices people make instinctively in confusion and ignorance may not necessarily be wrong."

He flicked his cigarette, and took a puff under Yu Jingzhong's extremely surprised gaze.

When he was the leader of the fourth group of Fenghuang, Fenghuang Mingwang's high position cut off all worldly atmosphere, let alone smoking, hiccups and coughs were unimaginable.But now, with a seemingly ordinary and indifferent face, cigarettes held between slender fingers, and white mist blocking the eyes under the eyelashes, the slightly sideways angle can give people a very strange feeling.

"On the day he proposed, I was kneeling in front of the Buddha..." Chu He said leisurely, "It just so happened that a Ming king from Tantra came over again and insisted on persuading me to marry his sister. This person has been pestering me for a long time. impatient but
