Lantern: Reflection of the Peach Blossoms

Little Phoenix tilted his head, full of doubts: "... Chirp?"

There was silence all around, and then it exploded like cold water poured into a frying pan: "Phoenix!"

"Phoenix!"

"That's a real Phoenix!!!!"

The mobile phone's flash clicked and clicked, flashing into a sea of ​​lights.Yu Jingzhong rushed out of the office and roared: "Just take a picture! Don't upload it to your Moments! —Secrecy discipline! Don't upload it to your Moments—!" Unfortunately, his voice was immediately drowned out by the sound of rumbling footsteps.

"Boss, you're finally back—!" A group of boys, big and small, descended like a tiger, rushing up and crying, crying and hugging their thighs.

A group of young handsome guys usually find it difficult to find girlfriends because of confidentiality work. Their lives are lonely and empty like snow, so they can only do private work with their boss to cheat money.Reluctantly, after Zhou Hui left, the boss was replaced by Jialouluo. The golden-winged roc had a serious and serious personality, and he trained this group of people to cry and call their mothers. Now seeing the boss is back, it is almost as close as seeing a real father.

Zhou Hui held the little Phoenix with both hands, and said solemnly: "This is your Fengsi team leader, come over here and recognize him... just make sure you are familiar! What about you! Just wait and see! "

The lads all bowed in unison: "Hello, Team Leader Four!"

"..." Little Phoenix: "...Chirp?!"

Fenghuang is mysterious and cold, and has betrayed twice. He has become the unspeakable No. 1 in the legend of the special place. It is generally believed that no matter what image or form he appears in, it is not surprising.Not to mention turning into a baby bird right now, even if he suddenly turns into a statue of a golden bodhisattva and sits in the office one day, no one will feel any strangeness.

However, there are also things that are unacceptable, such as Shenwan Tiansi:

"Mama, why did you become like this! You don't recognize me?! I'm a god! Can't you remember anything?"

In Zhou Hui's office, Shenwan Tiansi pointed at Little Phoenix with a face full of grief.Little Phoenix stayed motionless in Zhou Hui's arms, and looked innocently at Little Living Buddha.

"Look at me, look at me! Can't you really remember? Can't you even remember me?!"

After Yu Jingzhong calmed down the excited crowd outside who were about to watch the real rare birds, he just pushed the door open and walked in. Hearing this, he covered Shenwan's mouth, dragged him to the back, and whispered, "Phoenix doesn't even have Zhou Hui now." I recognize it, let alone you... Next time, don't say this in front of Zhou Hui, it will make him feel sad..."

Shenwan Tiansi stood supporting the wall with a deeply shocked expression on his face.

Yu Jingzhong patted Shenwan Tiansi on the head, pushed him out of the office to face a bunch of wolf-like onlookers outside, then walked to the desk, pulled out the chair and sat down, frowning and staring at the quiet nest Little bird cubs on the desktop.

Little Phoenix looked back at him with round eyes full of curiosity.

"...Is it really Feng Si? Didn't it take hundreds of years to hatch?" After 30 seconds, Yu Jingzhong finally couldn't help but doubt: "It's not that you missed Feng Si too much and picked up a random bird outside to recharge?! "

"bare--!"

Little Phoenix flapped its wings and was about to rush over to slap Lao Yu, but Zhou Hui quickly held him down, purring furiously while comforting him.It took a long time for the hair on the back of Little Phoenix's neck to subside slowly, but he still couldn't help but stare at Yu Jingzhong, his black bean-like eyes were full of resentment.

Yu Jingzhong was terrified: "It... it understands? If I go, I won't offend King Phoenix Ming, right?! Your Highness, I'm sorry! Your Highness, I didn't do it on purpose! You, you, your last life, I treated you very well, you must Trust me!!!"

Zhou Hui fondled little Phoenix in every possible way, until the latter finally retracted his head into his palm and said, "I didn't know anything half a month ago, but now I understand more and more. Maybe it's because of my natural instinct. But You can only officially open your mind after you have transformed into a form, and I don’t know when it will be... It is said that it is possible from a few years to a few hundred years."

"Does he really not remember anything?" Yu Jingzhong asked.

Zhou Hui shook his head.

"then you……"

"Just wait like this, I can afford to spend 800 years of Qian'er." Zhou Hui picked up the little Phoenix and kissed him, and said, "When he gets wiser, start over from the beginning bit by bit. The last time he snatched a kiss on the battlefield They all succeeded, but this time, can’t it be done in a long way? Even if the memory is washed away, the soul is still the same person, and there will always be a day when I will be recognized.”

"Besides, it doesn't matter even if you don't recognize him." Little Phoenix rubbed Zhou Hui's face affectionately with his round head, making a slight chirping sound.Zhou Hui's eyes couldn't help but smile: "He had such a bitter life when he was a child, but later he got caught up in this treacherous situation. Zen Jing tried his best to make every step of the way, and he never lived a day when he was truly at ease... It's okay to forget about it now .Life always has to pass before there is a new beginning.”

There was a lot of noise outside, and the sound of a group of members running around and shouting to move things could be heard from the corridor.

However, the office was very quiet. The red lines criss-crossed on the high ceiling, the balls rolled back and forth, each following its trajectory, like the vast star map in the night sky.

This office was completely sealed off during the six months when the owner left, and no one had ever stepped into it.But now Zhou Hui opened the door and walked in. He sat here, as if the heavy smoke, war and displacement had never happened, and everything seemed like yesterday.

Little Phoenix didn't understand what Zhou Hui said, but he flapped his wings habitually and chirped twice to express his agreement.

Zhou Hui laughed.

This person and bird have their own aura, and the intimate atmosphere seems to faintly exclude other people around them, forming an independent and warm small world.Yu Jingzhong stood up from the chair, looked at the scene opposite the desk, and forcibly held back what he wanted to say.

Although Zhou Hui looked the same as usual, after so many years of friendship, he could feel something heavier and desolate after that smile.

——What Zhou Hui said was not the truth.

·

Zhou Hui took Little Phoenix and moved back to his hardcover duplex apartment in the third ring road.

As for Zhang Shun and Jia Louluo who came back with him, one was taken away by Hu Liu, and the other could only live in the office.

Zhang Shun got all the assets and stocks from his brother when Chuhe left the Zhang family.However, Zhang Shun was firstly incompetent and secondly not in the mood to manage the company, so he simply sold more than half of his shares and became a director who claimed to receive dividends, so he came to the Beijing Special Office to dawdle.

Zhang Ershao was alone in his family. At that time, he didn't think about whether to stay in Beijing or return to City H, so he didn't buy a house in Beijing.Later, he casually lived in a hotel for two days, in a nightclub for two days, and at Situ Yingzhi's house for another two days; the bachelor lived a very chic life, and the idea of ​​buying a house just drifted away with the wind.

Now that the True Golden Buddha descended to the human world, he suddenly found that he didn't even have a foothold in Beijing.

You must not go to the nightclub. If Venerable Bhati finds out, he will vomit blood and run down the mountain to kill himself with a knife in front of Zhang Shun. Situ Yingzhi’s house is about to be sold, and he pooled his money to buy a big one in the mid-levels of Hong Kong. Now the house is in a mess, even Ji San himself is staying in a hotel.

Although Zhang Ershao has been in the human world for a long time and there are some problems with his divinity, he is suspected of being a genuine Buddha after all, and his superiors have given great importance to it, and specially emptied a building in a politically important area to serve as a Buddhist hall—— Helpless, Zhang Ershao felt terrified whenever he saw the Buddhist hall, and facing Yu Fu who was warmly inviting him, he almost wanted to jump up and slip away against the wall.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Li Hu showed mercy and said:

"Since Zhang Ershao doesn't want to live in the Buddhist hall, he can live in my house. It won't be too late to buy a house after settling down. It happens that my house has a big bedroom vacant. At the end of the month, he can help me pay the utility bills and so on. ..."

Zhang Ershao hastily said that there is no problem, it is my honor to live with the beauty of 36DD.Besides, as a Buddha, one must always remember to save all sentient beings. If you stay in the Buddhist hall and do not contact the grassroots, you will be separated from the people.

So the genuine golden Buddha ran away hand in hand with the vixen, leaving Deputy Yu behind, looking at Li Hu's extraordinarily joyful and unrestrained breasts while running, he felt his eyelids twitching.

The remaining one, Garuda, has been sleeping in the office all the time, and there is no pressure to continue sleeping in the office.

He slept in the office of the leader of Fengsi Group [-] back then. There were three large studios on the top floor, complete with bedrooms, living room, and small kitchen.Zhou Hui was so happy that he didn't live under the same roof with his son, and wanted to leave with Xiao Fenghuang in his arms, but was suddenly stopped by Jialou Luo: "Wait...Dad."

"Ok?"

Garuda stepped forward, and carefully smoothed the slightly messy feathers of the little phoenix, his eyes under the bandage showed a calm expression.After a long while, he took half a step back, looked around at Little Phoenix, and then raised his eyes and said, "Dad, there is one thing..."

Zhou Hui's tone softened slightly: "What's wrong?"

"Lend me some money." Garuda Luo said, "The salary is not enough."

Zhou Hui: "..."

"The internship period is [-] yuan, and the snake meat restaurant starts at [-] yuan for a steamed whole snake. Although the salaries of Yansan and Shenwan are higher than mine, they are not much higher. I wonder how they maintain a balance of income and expenditure? I heard that you can take jobs privately to earn some extra money, but that day I found the disciplinary regulations, which said that it was against the unit’s regulations to take jobs privately.”

Jialou Luo paused for a moment, then calmly said: "I've already spent all my salary this month... lend me some money, and I'll pay you back when I get paid."

The father and son looked at each other, and a gust of wind blew between them.

"..." Zhou Hui said slowly: "I remember that when you came out of the snow mountain, you took out the safe that your mother had stored there in advance from the local bank. There was 8 yuan in cash..."

"When the train crashed into the Demon Realm, Maha swallowed the bag madly, and later got thieves in the Human Realm."

"Then you later..."

"Prices in the human world are too expensive. I have been relying on my salary to live in the canteen of my work unit. Fortunately, I can live in an office, saving money on renting a house."

Zhou Hui stared at Garuda, looked at his son's youthful face, the old sports T-shirt on his body, and last year's out-of-season Adidas shoes. For the first time in his life, he felt a sense of responsibility as a father in his chest. .

He took out his wallet and drew a card, handed it to his son, and said, "Here, just swipe it as you like."

The little phoenix has a natural closeness to Garuda, and before leaving, he flew around Garuda twice, as if he was a little reluctant to part with him. The gorgeous tail feathers passed around him like a ribbon, sprinkled countless gorgeous point of light.

The light was like countless jumping elves, and Garuda stretched out his hand reminiscently—but the next moment, Zhou Hui hurriedly picked up the little phoenix, and left without moving his feet.

"Chirp?" Little Phoenix asked while being stuffed into the car, blinking her eyes in doubt.

Zhou Hui quickly got up and drove, pretending not to see it.Xin said that if Fenghuang regained his memory in the future and remembered that he almost made his second son beg for food, he might be so angry that he would make him go down the street to beg for food... So it's better to save mother and child crying when they parted.

·

After half a year's absence, Zhou Hui finally returned to his and Chuhe's home in Beijing.

Although it has not been lived in for such a long time, Yu Jingzhong often sends his men to clean it, so it is clean without any dust.It’s just that in a house that has been empty for a long time, there is always an uncomfortable smell in the air. Zhou Hui opened the balcony door and opened the floor-to-ceiling curtains, letting the setting sun pour into the living room and bedroom, and the solid wood floor glowed with a kind of moistness in the afterglow. Warm reflections.

"Yo, there are flowers." Zhou Hui looked at the glass water cup on the coffee table. There were a few unknown pink and white flowers in it, which must have been placed here when Yu Jingzhong sent someone to clean it.

"Tsk tsk, Lao Yu has been taught by the little beauty to have a joy in life. It's so rare... Remember? You used to pick a few wild flowers from the garden downstairs and put them at home, and you once wanted to open up a ginseng field in Yantai Plantation..."

Little Phoenix hopped onto the table, sniffed the wildflowers for a while, and then opened her mouth to take a bite.

"Bah, bah, bah!" The little phoenix immediately spit out the bitter petals, flapped its wings for a while, and bumped its head back into Zhou Hui's arms.

Zhou Hui laughed loudly, holding the car keys in one hand and Little Phoenix in the other, walked around the living room, and came to the bedroom again.I saw the sunlight coming in from the balcony connected to the bedroom, the big fluffy and white pillows on the bed glowed golden red, and there was a black casual suit jacket hanging on the corner of the bed—it belonged to Chuhe, it was confiscated before leaving, and it is still hanging on the bed. here.

Zhou Hui put Little Phoenix on the bed, picked up his coat and wrapped it around his head casually, and said with a smile, "This is yours, do you want it? Don't let me give it away."

Little Phoenix struggled to stick his head out of the pile of fabrics, and when he heard that he was about to give it away, he immediately gathered the jacket into a pile, spread his wings and stared at Zhou Hui.That means that since it is mine, it is not allowed to give away, what is mine is mine, and no one is allowed to take away my things.

Zhou Hui laughed and hugged Little Phoenix together with his coat.

"Whether you don't give it away or not, your things will always be yours..." Zhou Hui paused, buried his face in the coat, and said with a smile: "Even if you die, it will still be yours." , no one can take it away, don't worry."

Only then was Little Phoenix satisfied, and she shrank her neck under Zhou Hui's caresses one after another.

·

There is nothing to eat in the refrigerator, but fortunately there is still half a pack of milk powder.Zhou Hui boiled water to make a cup of thick milk, added sugar and honey, adjusted to the most suitable temperature, and took it to the bedroom for Xiao Fenghuang to drink obediently, while he went to the bathroom to take a shower.

The master bedroom was connected to the bathroom, and Zhou Hui didn't close the door. Little Phoenix was standing on the glass wall. From its angle, Zhou Hui's shadow could be seen reflected on the glass door of the bathroom, showing strong and firm upper body muscles and thighs.

Little Fenghuang opened his round black eyes, stared at it for a while without moving, then slowly lowered his head and took a few mouthfuls of milk.Without Zhou Hui, it quickly felt dull. It jumped off the wall of the cup, bounced on the bed and flapped its wings a few times, looking up at this "home" that was said to be its own.

The high ceiling makes the field of vision very wide, light golden heavy curtains, beige carpets, furniture and beds are all made-to-order high-grade solid wood products, and the design can be seen from the handwriting of famous masters.Little Fenghuang tried her best to raise her little head, her gaze swept over the framed photo on the bedside table in confusion, paused for a moment on Chuhe's face in the photo, and then moved away unconsciously.

It turned its gaze to Zhou Hui's bedside table, and settled on one of the drawers.

There seemed to be a very familiar aura emanating from the drawer, Little Phoenix couldn't help but took a step forward, followed by another step, stood by the drawer, stretched his neck and looked inside.

The drawer was closed tightly, so it naturally saw nothing.However, Little Phoenix thought for a while, and the extremely familiar yet indescribable feeling became more and more serious. Finally, it cautiously stretched out its claws, and like a ghost, it struggled to open the drawer.

There was also the sound of rushing water in the bathroom, and Zhou Hui was humming Turandot, and the singing was particularly loud in the echo.

Little Phoenix's eyes were reddened by the oncoming brilliant light.

——I saw a glass jar in the drawer, inside which was a delicate lotus flower-shaped support, holding a red round bead precisely and securely.The beads were the size of a thumb, crystal clear and flowing smoothly, in the twilight world and in the increasingly dark bedroom, shining with a bright halo like a cold star from the nine heavens.

Several fragments of long-lasting memories whizzed past from the depths of my mind, but then passed away, leaving not even a faint picture——

This is Phoenix pupil.

Little Phoenix stared at the glass jar, and stood there in a daze.
