Lantern: Reflection of the Peach Blossoms

Mie Prefecture, Japan.

The moonlight was like frost, and the mountain road was covered with snow, and the stone steps under the shrine glowed with blue light.

A figure with loose long hair and a white robe trailing the ground came from the snow, passed through the frozen torii gate, stepped on the long snow-covered approach, and entered the empty temple.

In the hall, apart from faint cries, only his footsteps echoed.Following the direction where the cry came from, he slowly walked towards an altar deep in the temple. Under the light of the blue light, there was a red stone box covered with gold on the altar. Inside the box was a two-finger-wide, thin, pitch-black long knife.

"Is this the cry that called me?" murmured the man, reaching for the long knife from the gold stand.

At this moment, the crying stopped completely, and then Gang Qi swept from the temple!

The gust of wind was overwhelming and mighty, like an animal's mouth wide open to choose someone to devour - the sleeves and long hair of the man in white were blown up, but he didn't even lift his head, just raised his hand violently!

With a whirring sound, the strong wind suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving only the mournful cry that shrieked like unwillingness, and then rushed out of the temple and disappeared into the distance of the vast night.

"—His Royal Highness King Ming."

The voice suddenly sounded from behind the man in white, and a man about 40 to [-] years old with white beard and hair appeared in the temple. He bowed deeply to the man in white and said, "Meet you again, Peacock!" His Royal Highness King Ming."

Maha turned around and looked, squinting his eyes, this expression made his thick eyelashes look like a long and narrow arc like a blade: "Who are you?"

The man didn't stand up, but raised his head slightly to reveal his face:

"My name is Aida Yoshitoshi. I was fortunate enough to meet His Royal Highness Prince Ming in the forbidden grottoes in mainland China. Now I have taken the liberty to set up an altar to summon His Highness because I have something to ask for. I would like to thank you with this sword."

Maha remembered the Forbidden Grottoes, but he had no memory of such a dispensable little character like Aida Yoshiro.His gorgeous and unparalleled eyebrows and eyes did not move at all, and he said lightly: "Oh——then what's the matter with you?"

This tone does not sound abnormal, but those who are familiar with him will know that if he violently kills the next moment, there will be no abnormality like this before.

Aida Yoshiro didn't have any expression of fear: "May I know the name of the sword in your hand, Your Highness, and why is it crying?"

"..."

As he expected, Maha didn't answer. Aida Yoshimoto stood up and looked directly at the Peacock King Ming on the high altar:

"——The name of this sword is 'Amazono Cloud'. It is the sword obtained by the third noble son of Izanagi, Takehayashi Susano, who killed Yamata no Orochi when he was away from the world. When Susanoo was born, he received He was canonized as the God of the Sea, but he cried bitterly all day long because he missed Huangquan Hirasaka's mother, so he angered his father and was kicked out of the sea that he relied on to protect himself..."

Maha's expression moved slightly.

"Later, the Amazono Cloud Sword was dedicated to Amaterasu God by Susano, and passed on to Tiansun Qiong Qiong Chuzun, which was handed down from generation to generation in the Emperor's place. Subdue the ability of Sea Dragon."

Yoshida Aida paused, took a breath and said:

"My Tokyo Esoteric sect has always been entrusted by the Ise Shrine to store the mirror heart of the Yata mirror, a secret artifact. However, a disciple under the sect fled to a foreign country with the artifact when the head of the sect was infatuated. I stripped the Yata mirror from him. If His Royal Highness King Ming can help me find the heart of the Yata mirror, I am willing to sacrifice 88 living people and dedicate this incomparably precious divine sword Tian Congyun to His Highness... ..."

Maha smiled slightly, and said, "Yataka Mirror."

Holding the Tiancongyun sword, he looked at the faint moonlight in the distant sky, his expression seemed to be thinking about something, and it took him a while to hear him say:

"I have seen this artifact when I was traveling in the six realms. Its mirror grid changes from yin to yang and is capricious. Therefore, the huge divine power contained in it is difficult for living people to control. The person who wears the Yata mirror must meet one condition, that is, possess For a soul with both yin and yang, the yin soul must be a soul refined from the incomparably fierce yang soul after death and returning to the human world through the yin world... This is equivalent to the return of the dead, and it is almost impossible."

"No! Please listen to me!" Seeing that he obviously didn't believe it, Yoshida immediately said eagerly: "After the Yata Mirror was lost, I checked the secret archives of our sect, and found that the Tantric sect had already been found in hundreds of years of practice. I have learned the method of refining Yin and Yang dual-faced souls, and the current wearer was personally refined by the previous old master!"

Seeing that Maha still didn't quite believe it, Aida Yoshiro said firmly: "Now we only want to get the Yata Kyou back. If there is one word to deceive His Highness, please kill me and take Tiancong away." Yun, how?!"

Moha didn't speak for a while, just stared at Aida Yoshi, his eyes were cold and unwavering.

"No need." He finally said after a long time, "I forgive you mortals who dare not."

——Aida Yoshiro's hanging heart finally fell back into his chest a little bit, and only then did he feel the coolness on his back. It turned out that he had sweated through his heavy clothes in such a severe winter.

"If you are not lying, just prove it to me." Maha lazily said, "As long as the wearer is brought here, I will have a way to cut off the connection between the artifact and him, and then return it to you .”

Aida Yoshitoshi was a little embarrassed when he heard the words: "But that person has been heavily protected in a foreign country. With our manpower, it is very difficult to infiltrate him. How can we bring him back to Japan?"

Maha stared at him motionlessly.

When King Peacock Ming's unparalleled face was expressionless, he was like a god statue carved out of ice, and even the slight arc of his eyebrows was radiated with the cold light of a sharp blade.

Under the huge pressure, Aida Yoshiro's heart stopped beating under the pressure.

"Actually," Maha finally said slowly, with a calm tone: "There is a very simple way..."

The next morning, the hot spring hotel garden.

Yan Lanyu was dumbfounded: "I... I was just talking casually, what does it have to do with me?!"

In the open-air restaurant in the hotel garden, thirteen or fourteen-year-old Chu He was sitting at the breakfast table in a white shirt and jeans. His cheeks were so white that they could drip water. He held a coffee cup with his slender fingers and said while swiping his phone: "The fact is that related."

"——Tiandao Zhihu said that if a person who has accumulated a certain amount of merit has never made a wish before, a strong wish suddenly arises from his heart one day will have a great 'wish power', and the possibility of being fulfilled is very high .If you make multiple wishes at once, the possibility of fulfillment is related to the difficulty of wish fulfillment."

He turned the phone over and pointed to the Tiandao Zhihu page to Yan Lanyu to show that he wasn't talking nonsense:

"That is to say, the three wishes you made last night, from easy to difficult, are: hotel discount, I wake up, and the years are long. My deep sleep is not too deep, and your wish can be regarded as overwhelming a camel." As for the hotel discount, it should be fine...the last one is hard to say, the changes brought about by time belong to force majeure in the Six Paths."

Chu He smiled slightly.

Yan Lanyu was dumbfounded, and suddenly Zhou Hui's voice came from outside the restaurant:

"Hahahaha, let me tell you a super funny thing. The owner of this hotel must chase after Li Hu if he likes her, and asks for a discount for us hahahaha——"

Zhang Shun: "..."

"Actually, I said how can I show my sincerity by only offering a discount? At least the bill should be waived, and a gift plate of 400 yuan will be enough to send [-] random fruit plates. I think the boss looks like a dog. He is our sister-in-law. The one you like, why don't you leave my sister-in-law here when we go back later, just to avoid the risk of being found out for eating and drinking with deputy public funds hahaha—"

On the steps of the garden restaurant, Zhou Hui forcibly put his arms around Zhang Shun's shoulders and smiled long into the sky. The laughter was so bold and unrestrained that it made one want to take the sole of his shoe and slap him hard on the face.

Zhang Shun's facial muscles twitched strangely, gritted his teeth and pushed Zhou Hui away: "No, no, no sister-in-law Zhou, I think this is a bit inappropriate, at least give Li Hu the right to choose..."

Zhou Hui said: "Oh, what a good choice! Li Hu likes this one, it's bold, neat and generous! My brother tells you, Li Hu doesn't need to choose at all. She likes this type the most. She knows how to keep it. In the future, I will take the initiative to stay and have sex with the hotel owner hahahaha———”

Chuhe: "..."

Yan Lanyu: "..."

The expression on Zhang Shun's face was indescribable, as if he really wanted to slap Zhou Hui away with a fly swatter, and he really wanted to grab himself by the hair.

After a long while, he finally grabbed Zhou Hui's hand that was forcibly hooking him, and pushed it away from his shoulder inch by inch. Although the muscles on his face were twisted into a smile, his voice seemed to come out word by word:

"By the way, Brother Zhou, I suddenly remembered that I have known each other for so long, and I haven't invited everyone to dinner. I'm really embarrassed..."

"No, no, no, you're too polite! How can we eat your food!"

"No, no, you don't have to. You must invite me. You see, we are a family. Why don't we just choose a date instead of hitting the date today..."

"Oh, what are you doing, what are you doing, being so polite seems to be rushing to force you to treat me!"

"Listen to me, listen to me...Brother Zhou!" Zhang Shun finally grabbed Zhou Hui's hand and said righteously: "Don't say anything, how can you not have such a meaningful meal for the first time in the New Year?" Let me invite you? If there is a discount, can it still show my sincerity? Anyone who dares to mention a discount to me is my enemy! From last night to today, I have covered everyone's consumption in this hotel. Brother Zhou, do you want it? Go and order two more bottles of wine, and charge them to my account!"

Zhou Hui hastily declined, but Zhang Shun could not refuse, as soon as he pushed him away, he ran towards the front desk of the hotel.

"Brother-in-law—!" Zhou Hui called out in vain from behind, with nine tunes and eighteen bends at the end, blowing away with the wind and moving people's hearts.

In the next second, Zhou Hui turned around, walked into the restaurant humming a tune, grabbed the waiter and said, "Do you serve lobster sashimi this morning? You can serve two lobsters weighing one kilogram at will, and two dozen abalones. I will pack them up and take them away. Thank you." !"

At the dining table, Yan Lanyu's expression was indescribable.Chu He took a sip of his coffee and looked at him sympathetically: "I heard that your Tokyo Tantric School fears and respects Zhou Hui...is that true?"

Judging from Yan Lanyu's expression, it was obvious that he was struggling fiercely in his heart: he really didn't want to lose face, but at the moment he couldn't make up his mind to tell lies.

"The idol complex will always be shattered," Chuhe said with great experience, clapping his hands.

"Honey, how's the breakfast?" Zhou Hui strolled across the restaurant, leaned over and kissed Chuhe's side cheek under the strange eyes of other guests not far away.

Chu He raised his head and kissed Zhou Hui briefly, and said, "I'm telling Little Brother Yan that he made a wish to wake me up."

Fenghuang's body is now at the age of thirteen or fourteen, when it is most difficult to tell the age.His hair hadn't grown long enough to cover his ears, revealing a pure blue stone button nailed on his earlobe; his thick black eyelashes drooped naturally, and his snow-white cheeks almost melted in the morning light.

Zhou Hui looked at him with tenderness in his eyes, unaware that he had become a perverted pedophile in the eyes of other guests.

"—Ah, yes, I'm still talking!" Zhou Hui was oblivious to the strange gazes from all directions, and vigorously patted Yan Lanyu's shoulder: "You are too honest, you can use such a rare opportunity to make a wish on your birthday. , still thinking about our little Phoenix! Hey, I don’t know how to thank you. It’s not easy to accumulate wish power. I have accumulated many years of merit, and I have never won the Liuhe lottery in my wish..."

Chuhe said helplessly: "You don't have merit at all."

Yan Lanyu realized that she had become an accomplice of a pedophile in the eyes of everyone, so she hurriedly got up and backed away, but Zhou Hui didn't let him go: "Hey, you are such a child, why are you so obedient and sensible? If my son had you It’s good to be half obedient—it’s a pity that you are a boy, if you are a girl, I will adopt it as a daughter, and I will inherit half of your property in the future... It’s such a pity, otherwise I don’t know how to thank you!”

Zhou Hui had a regretful expression on his face, wishing to kill Yan Lanyu on the spot so that he could be reincarnated as a daughter. Yan Lanyu shuddered when he saw it: "No... no, Mr. Zhou, I'm more used to being a boy..."

"Why is Vice Yu so lucky to find you? Oh, I have nothing to thank you for." Zhou Hui said kindly, and couldn't help but take out a few balls of yellow paper from his trouser pocket. When they unfolded, they turned out to be graffiti-like ghostly symbols drawn by elementary school students. He stuffed it into Yan Lanyu's hand.

"This is a safe talisman drawn by me. The original price is 880, plus a service fee of 880 points per credit card. I will give it to you for nothing to express my gratitude. Don't be too moved!"

Yan Lanyu: "..."

Yan Lanyu looked at the balls of yellow paper in her hand, and didn't recover for a while.

When he realized that he was going to give way, he looked up and saw Zhou Hui picking up the little Phoenix and walking away like the wind.Looking at the domineering back, he is presumably immersed in the lolita-grown, handsome, gentle, wealthy and good lover. He has no idea that the reason why others secretly photographed him was not to regard him as a movie star, but to go on Weibo. Bo went to expose this terrible pervert.

·

The news of Phoenix's return from Nirvana spread throughout the entire Special Office immediately. Headed by Yu Jingzhong, Wu Bei, Situ, and Nine-tailed Fox came to visit in turn. Shenwan hugged Chuhe and refused to let go. Hui grabbed the back of his neck and threw him down the stairs.

Jialou Luo also came, and before entering the door, he bumped into his father in the corridor, Zhou Hui looked him up and down with a strange expression, and asked, "...Why are you here in this suit?"

"Isn't it right?" Garuda was puzzled, and looked down at his half-new black hoodie, off-brand jeans bought at a discount in the mall, and imitation Li-Ning sneakers at 20 yuan a pair from Taobao, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

Come to see my mother, do I need to dress up formally? Compared with Maha, it is not easy for me to clean up, okay?

"No, no, no, no, it's too wrong!" Zhou Hui grabbed Garuda, ignored his resistance, and dragged his son into his room across the corridor, locked the door with a click, and took out a messy pile of clothes from the closet. Throwing your head on Garuda's face: "Put it on! When you go to see your mother in the future, you must be smooth-skinned and dress stylishly. If you dare to tell me a word, I will skin you and feed it to the nine-tailed fox!"

"..." Jialuluo looked at his father speechlessly, and his father looked back at him confidently.

Garuda Luo's forehead twitched slightly, and finally gave in after a long while: "Okay...Okay."

Ten minutes later, Jialouluo stood in front of Chuhe, dressed in a big name and looking cramped, like a rural boy who entered the city for the first time.

Chu He put down "Holding the Corpse" and said strangely: "What's wrong with you? Why don't you sit down?"

Facing Zhou Hui's fiery gaze in the corner of the room behind him, Jialou Luo bit the bullet and said, "No... no, I'll leave after 10 minutes. Mom, how are you recently? Do you need anything?"

Chuhe laughed: "I don't need anything. Your father and I are planning to go to Buzhou Mountain to clean up the belongings there. I can bring back what you need from hell. I think you look good? Stay in the human world Are you used to it, is Maha alright?"

There was an undisguised coldness in Zhou Hui's eyes.

Garuda's tone immediately turned a corner: "Maha is fine! I am fine too! Twenty snakes are eaten every day! I have never been short of money!"

Chuhe: "..."

Chuhe stared at his son, and Jialouluo pinched the corner of his clothes innocently.

"Eating snakes alone is not nutritionally balanced," Chuhe said in a messy manner after a long while, "You... take some time to add some vitamins."

After 10 minutes, Jialouluo left with the same hands and feet. Chuhe had an indescribable expression on his face, and couldn't help asking: "Why do I feel that this kid's painting style is a bit strange?"

Zhou Hui played with smashing candy with his pillow on Chuhe's thigh, and said boldly: "It's normal! —Adolescent children are rebellious and sensitive, parents should not ask too many questions, and respect their privacy! Don't get psychologically twisted and grow up like a peacock king Cannibals..."

Chuhe deeply felt that something was wrong, as if something had happened to him when he was a little phoenix, but Zhou Hui's expression was completely normal, so he had to not mention it for now.

·

The national security special is like locusts crossing the border, and finally set foot on the way home after killing Zhang Shun.

There is one week left of the Spring Festival holiday. The romantic soul poet Wu Bei plans to go to Nepal to climb Mount Everest. Shenwan and him go back to his hometown in Tibet to visit relatives. Situ Yingzhi invites Nine-Tailed Fox to go shopping in Hong Kong. Suddenly expressed his desire to go.

After Fenghuang woke up, Zhang Shun avoided him for some reason.Of course, Chuhe didn't know that his brother was just guilty, and thought that after the return of the Buddha, he would not be regarded as his wholeheartedly dependent elder brother like in his previous life. Therefore, although he was a little bit disappointed, he could understand, so he didn't take the initiative to care about Zhang. Two less.

Therefore, he also missed the most critical first-hand information——

Zhang Shun stayed in a hotel in Hong Kong and booked a room with Jiuweihu.

Of course Nine-Tailed Fox would not take the initiative to tell him.Are you kidding me, are you in a hurry to be skinned by Phoenix King Ming?

Zhou Hui took Chuhe to Hell Buzhou Mountain for honeymoon, packed his belongings by the way, and asked Phoenix Ming Wang, who was eager for a child, to go to Xuehai to see the child.The brother-in-law and sister-in-law agreed enthusiastically in a hurry, and they just missed holding a handkerchief to see them off, which made Chuhe feel a little sad, and asked Zhou Hui: "Is it because they bother me, why didn't they call me when they went out to play?"

Zhou Hui showed a rare and kind side at this time. What he said was: "The children have grown up and have their own world. We must respect their privacy..."

·

Zhou Hui and Chu He would have to stay in Hell for at least half a month before they could come back, and the special office couldn't be left alone, so Yu Jingzhong rushed back to Beijing directly.

Speaking of which, everyone was singing and laughing together and went on vacation separately, and he was the only one who had to go back to Unit 547 to be on duty, which was quite depressing.Fortunately, he was not alone. Yan Lanyu was also on the way back to Beijing in the same car.

——Yan Lanyu has a driver's license and can drive, but she doesn't have a car.He usually goes to and from get off work with Yu Jingzhong, even if he goes out for supper, Yu Jingzhong is used to being the driver, which is really convenient and easy to use.

Driving back to their home from the outskirts of the city, they stopped and stopped all the way, and drove for three or four hours.Along the way, Teresa Teng's old songs were played back and forth in the car, and Yu Jingzhong opened the window on his side, smoking non-stop while singing "Let time go by, I only care about you——", as if he was hiding something on his mind .

After driving all the way to the downstairs of the community, Yu Jingzhong turned off the brakes, but did not open the car door.

Yan Lanyu knew that he finally couldn't hold back, so she turned her head to look at him.

However, Yu Jingzhong kept playing with the zippo lighter in his hand, rubbing a cigarette back and forth, and never lit it.He stopped talking for at least three or four minutes before he finally coughed, "That... Lan Yu."

Yan Lanyu showed a moderate expression of listening attentively, but her eyes were fixed on the lighter.

It is said that when Yu Jingzhong first joined the army, he won the first prize in the army shooting competition. The old chief was so happy that he took it out of his pocket and gave it to him.The significance of the old chief's acquisition of this lighter is even more unusual. It was a spoil of war captured from Soviet prisoners during the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam in [-].

The old chief has been kind to Jing Zhong, and the relationship has always been very good.But few people know that after Yu Jingzhong was transferred to Guoan, the old chief once wanted to introduce his eldest granddaughter to him, but Yu Jingzhong declined on the grounds that his work was dangerous and his life was in danger.

Just when Yan Lanyu felt that the lighter might catch fire if she continued to play, Yu Jingzhong finally coughed again, stammering:

"That... Lan Yu, what do you think of me?"

Yan Lanyu was taken aback for a moment.

Yu Jingzhong stared at a telegraph pole in the distance, and said, "I'm not working on the front line now, so I can be a little more stable. Although I have a dead salary, but fortunately I have savings and no mortgage, and I don't usually have any hobbies to spend money. In the future, the country will have a pension. You were not full before, and I feel that it is not proper to tell you these things, but now... I mean, you don't have that kind of... psychological pressure."

Yu Jingzhong paused, and suddenly realized that he was habitually cowardly in front of Yan Lanyu again: "No, no, what I mean is, you should carefully consider this... this possibility between us. See how we live together. It’s been a long time, and everything is fine. It’s good to continue like this, right? Well, I didn’t mean that you can’t live if you reject me. Even if you reject me, you can continue to live... Of course, I’m not encouraging You rejected me because you hoped that you would... think about it carefully. "

Poor Yu Jingzhong was almost on his knees for his ability to express himself.He was clearly able to hold back against a group of heavyweight old men when he was making a report at the Military Commission, but now he confessed his love to Yan Lanyu, but he was in a mess.

Yan Lanyu sat quietly on the co-pilot, and at first she felt a little bit empty-headed, and then slowly a mixed feeling that was indescribable:

"actually……"

"Anyway, that's it," Yu Jingzhong hurriedly interrupted him: "I'm not in a hurry, think about it carefully, and don't rush to give me an answer. I'll go up and cook first, you, you, you, you come up when you think about it. "

Deputy Director Yu opened the car door and fled.In the middle of the escape, I found that the zippo had fallen into the car, and I instinctively wanted to come back to get it; then I stumbled on my feet, remembering that I must still have a spare lighter at home, so I turned around and drifted cleanly, and rushed into the building.

——As expected of being a spy chief, the speed of the [-]-meter race even Liu Xiang would die of shame when he saw it.

Yan Lanyu looked at his back through the car window without blinking.

The boy's silhouette seemed to be frozen, and even the arc of the hair hanging at the corner of his eyes was completely still.After an unknown amount of time, he finally moved and sighed almost silently.

"I would," he said with a wry smile.

"...I really want to..."

The author has something to say:

In order to avoid disputes, mark in advance:

The ending of the main CP line, Maha’s godhead, and Yu Yan’s CP are all in the extra Tokyo chapter

According to the outline, in the Tokyo chapter, Brother Yan accounts for 40% of the plot, Yu Yan CP 20%, Zhou Chu CP 40%

As I said in advance, the relatives of Deputy Lei CP can subscribe, and the relatives of Deputy Lei CP can detour according to the chapter summary, so as to avoid the controversy in the chapter of Guoan turmoil.

In addition, Yu Jingzhong is really an uncle in his 30s with a strong physique and a sharp style. He just feels wronged in front of Yan Lanyu, so he is just a habitual coward!

He really doesn't have a beer belly, nor is he bald, but he has abs! ! !

Chapter 77 In Tokyo, they respectfully call the owner of this name—the head [the whole chapter is related to Yan]

Min Min, the two-year-old daughter of the Yu family, went to full care. The nanny washed and cut the vegetables, marinated the fish, cooked the rice, and left.

Yu Jingzhong personally cooked three delicacies, steamed a sea bass, and cooked a tofu soup with bones; when the rice was served, Yan Lanyu finally went upstairs and put the car keys on the cabinet in the entrance without saying a word.

"Let's eat," Yu Fu said, not embarrassed to look at the expression on Yan Lanyu's face.

The two sat and ate without saying a word, one went to work in the study, and the other checked things on the ipad in the living room. There was a deliberate silence at home, as if the confession downstairs had never happened at all.

Time passed quickly in silence, and when it was time to sleep, Yu Jingzhong returned to his bedroom, peeping through the crack in the door that the light in the living room was still on.

... What is he thinking?

Deputy Yu sat on the bed and pondered for a while, trying to analyze the current situation with the powerful logical thinking ability of many years of intelligence analysis, but his mind was full of confusion, which was more complicated than planning an overseas espionage operation.

It really is me, a toad, who wants to eat swan meat... Yu Fu thought to himself so mockingly, went to bed after washing up, and fell asleep by himself.

As a result, in the middle of the night, Yu Jingzhong was awakened by a strange feeling. He opened his eyes in a daze and saw that it was Yan Lanyu who was sitting by the bed, bending down to him.

Yu Jingzhong sat up in astonishment, but was immediately pressed down by Yan Lanyu and kissed. At the same time, his warm fingers seemed to be holding something sharp and pressed against his chest.

"you……"

The questioning was submerged in the entanglement of lips and tongues, and Yu Jingzhong's mind was sober for a while, and he was in a trance. It was an indescribable feeling. In the confusion, he only vaguely felt that the sharp thing was pierced into the flesh, and then it was hot and slid, and it was completely submerged. chest.

……What's this?He wants to kill me?

No no, if he wanted to kill me, I would have died a long time ago, this is...

Yu Jingzhong didn't think about it anymore.As if he had been bewitched, he raised his hand uncontrollably to grab Yan Lanyu, and the two of them fell on the big bed at the same time, their naked skin touching each other, making every nerve ending tremble with excitement.

"What's that?" Yu Jingzhong managed to gather his last bit of sanity while panting, and asked, "What did you..."

The curtains in the bedroom were slightly closed, the moonlight shone on the sheets, and there was a strange gleam in the depths of Yan Lanyu's eyes.

"It's Jingxin," he said softly.

"Half of my heart."

·

That night Yu Jingzhong dreamed of the sea.He was in the waves and drifted involuntarily with the ocean currents. When the tide was high, he was submerged to the top, and he saw the whalebone blooming slowly in the depths of the sea like flowers; Dazzling stars.

The wind swept across the sea surface with a slight salty smell, accompanied by faint voices, as if someone was calling his name.

Yu Jingzhong tried his best to poke his head out of the sea, and a strong impulse came from nowhere that made him search around, but the sound was intermittent like playing hide-and-seek, and it disappeared every time he just locked on a direction.

When the tide was high, Yu Jingzhong was submerged in the sea, and the painful cry for help sounded again, as if he became more and more sad and desperate because of the long wait.

"Where are you?"

Yu Jingzhong asked loudly in the sea, but there was only a string of bubbles at the exit.

"who are you?"

The ebb and flow of the tide was endless, and the call finally came faintly again.

Yu Jingzhong didn't know where the strength came from, and suddenly swam to the surface of the sea with all his strength, only to see that there seemed to be a fire on the surface of the water not far away.

A man was tied to a wooden frame in the flames, his whole body was naked, dripping with blood, his head was drooping weakly, and it was impossible to tell whether he was alive or dead.

For some reason, an urge to tremble with anger suddenly swept Yu Jingzhong's heart. He shouted loudly and swam towards the fire, but no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get close to the roaring flame.

The next moment, countless pale and skinny ghost claws suddenly protruded from the sea of ​​flames, scrambling to grab the man tied to the wooden frame, and they were about to drag him down into the dark abyss deep in the sea...

"Wait!" Yu Jingzhong yelled, "Wait, don't—!"

The blood was wrapped in tongues of flames and burned "hoo!", stretching into an endless hell of fire.The man was about to fall into it. At the last second, he raised his head and looked at Yu Jingzhong in the distant sea.

At that moment, the picture freezes, and his face is extremely familiar.

——That is Yan Lanyu who has grown up!

Yu Jingzhong was stunned.In the next second, a tsunami rose from the ground and crashed down, pushing him into the abyss!

·

"--what!"

Yu Jingzhong sat up suddenly, and was blinded by the light for an instant.

I saw that the sky was already bright, and there was a sound of birdsong outside.It snowed last night, and the sun shone brightly on the snow.

Yu Jingzhong panted slightly, turned over after a while and fell to the ground, leaving wet footprints on the floor with his bare feet, only then did he realize that his whole body was soaked in cold sweat.

He walked to the bathroom, looked at his face in the mirror, and subconsciously remembered that dream again.

Yan Lanyu grew up...

Yu Jingzhong washed his face with cold water, and then he felt sober, and turned his head to look at the messy big bed in the bedroom.

Although the incomparably real nightmare just now left a shadow in his subconscious, Yan Lanyu's actions last night... probably meant a promise.

Yu Jingzhong rubbed his temples, quickly washed and shaved, changed his shirt and trousers, opened the door and walked out on tiptoe. When he passed Yan Lanyu's bedroom, he looked in and was surprised to find no one there.

Where did you go?

"morning."

Yu Jingzhong turned around sharply, and saw Yan Lanyu sitting at the breakfast table with porridge, pickles and poached eggs on the table.

"Early...early."

Yu Jingzhong coughed, walked to the table and sat down, only to see Yan Lanyu was looking up something with an ipad.

He will also be on duty in Unit 547 later, but he doesn't have as many restrictions on clothing as Yu Jingzhong, so he just wears a light gray sweater casually. The neck exposed at the neckline looks extraordinarily delicate and white, almost dazzling.

"This...you made this?"

"Ah."

Yu Jingzhong drank two mouthfuls of porridge, and realized belatedly: "Have you eaten it?"

"Ah."

The atmosphere returned to a slightly embarrassing silence.Vice Yu wanted to say something but was embarrassed to say it, wanted to flirt but couldn't flirt, so he had to concentrate on eating breakfast, put the dishes and chopsticks away, grabbed the car keys and said, "Then let's go first..."

"I have something to tell you."

Yu Jingzhong was slightly taken aback, seeing Yan Lanyu put down the ipad, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that it was a rental advertisement in the Fourth Ring Road of Beijing!

"I am very grateful for what you told me yesterday, and I have thought about it for a long time. I am willing to maintain the current state with you, but there is no way to go further into the relationship of lovers... This is good for you and me .”

Yu Jingzhong was a little confused, and it took several seconds to realize: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Yan Lanyu didn't answer.

"You mean that you don't want to live a serious life with me, but you are willing to maintain a relationship with me?" Yu Jingzhong was confused: "What do you think?"

Yan Lanyu still didn't speak, she just stared at the fine texture of the checkered tablecloth without blinking her eyelashes.

After a while, Yu Jingzhong was almost a little irritable, and he finally took a deep breath, and said slowly: "If you want to understand it this way... yes, that's what I mean."

"..."

"At the same time, thank you for taking me in during this period of time, but I am an adult and have an income, and it is too shameful to live like this. I have already found an apartment near my unit, and if there are no accidents, I will move there soon gone."

Yan Lanyu closed her eyes suddenly, opened them after a while, got up and walked towards the door.

"Wait!" Yu Jingzhong couldn't help standing up and asking, "Is it because I didn't do well? Or are you dissatisfied with me? If that's the case, you can just say it, there is no need to worry about what I think..."

"No." Yan Lanyu said, her voice sounded very sad for some reason: "It's not that reason... Actually, I like you very much too."
