homecoming

The night is quiet, the moon is bright and the insects are singing.

Tang Fei was lying on the recliner under the wisteria trellis, staring at the full moon in the sky in a daze.A handful of jet black and smooth long hair was placed behind the back of the chair, letting the breeze dry the moisture in the hair.You'er waited behind him, staring at his back with deep fascination and a little worry.

The sound of shallow footsteps came from outside the courtyard, You'er froze, quickly restrained her mind and lowered her head, not daring to look at Tang Fei again.

Feng Chenying slowly walked behind Tang Fei, followed his gaze to look at the bright yellow moon in the sky, it was big and round.

"Tomorrow is the fifteenth day, right?" Feng Chenying said lightly.She lowered her head and stretched out her hands to play with his strand of black hair, and sniffed lightly at the end of her nose. The fragrance that made her a little obsessed entered her heart, and Feng Chenying sighed comfortably.

"It seems so, the moon is so round." Tang Fei ignored Feng Chenying's movements, still staring at the night sky.

Feng Chenying smiled, picked up the ivory comb on the wooden table beside her, and began to comb Tang Fei's hair, her movements were focused and gentle.Ever since Tang Fei said "yes" that day, he has justifiably entered the Su Xin Yuan.Tang Fei didn't like gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, so he refused to give any of them.Tang Fei likes to read books, so he collected a large box of famous classics, folk novels, myths and biographies and sent them to him.Tang Fei doesn't like noise and prefers peace and quiet, so he takes a pot of good tea to his yard, reads a book, drinks tea, and sits for an entire afternoon.Although Tang Fei reacted coldly, he still tried his best to be considerate and responsible as a good lover, looking at him with tender eyes dripping water.

"How about tomorrow, let's go out for a walk." Tang Fei said suddenly, he smelled the rich sandalwood fragrance in the mansion.He is very familiar with this smell. He remembers that when his so-called "father" died when he was 11 years old, this smell haunted him for seven days.

Feng Chenying's eyes flickered slightly, the corner of her mouth curled up, and she said, "Okay."

July [-]th, Hungry Ghost Festival.

The usually bustling and bustling streets have lost the hustle and bustle of the past. Almost every household puts a Yulan basin and incense burner in front of the door, and then burns the folded paper joss sticks to the underworld to pay homage to their dead relatives.This kind of sacrificial activity will last for a whole July. This month is the day when the gates of hell are wide open and hundreds of ghosts are rampant. Even the underground Yama can't control it.On days like this, every family rarely goes out, and things like going up mountains and down rivers are even more forbidden. People of the older generation said that places like that are most likely to be caught by ghosts and used as substitutes.

Tang Fei still knows about Chinese traditional festivals, but in the 21st century, there are only two days, the [-]th or [-]th of July.

With Feng Chenying on the cotton brocade street where the ashes were floating, Tang Fei couldn't help but sneezed as his nose was filled with the smell of joss sticks.Feng Chenying looked amused, took out a handkerchief from her bosom and handed it to Tang Fei, saying, "Not used to this smell? Don't you have such a sacrifice over there?"

Tang Fei took it, wiped his nose, and said, "Yes, but it doesn't take that long, usually at fourteen or fifteen, and it's over when the paper money is burned."

"Such disrespect to the ancestors? Are you afraid of retribution?" Feng Chenying raised her brows and said.

"We have done even more disrespectful things, so our country often suffers retribution, and there are many natural and man-made disasters." Tang Fei told the truth that during the ten years of national turmoil, they dared to smash even the Jade Emperor Temple. /Fate" Father and son cannibalism is often staged, but what's the big deal if you only burn paper money for one day?

"You..." Feng Chenying hadn't finished speaking when Tang Fei screamed.

"He Xi?" Tang Fei walked straight over, Feng Chenying's face changed slightly, and she followed.

He Xi is not alone, there is also Liu Yi and Chunyu Jue whom he met that day.It's just that the kid named Chun Yujue had red eyes and looked like he had just cried. He must have just paid homage to his relatives, right?

"Tang Fei? Why do you..." He Xi noticed Feng Chenying behind Tang Fei, was puzzled, and then said, "You also came out to worship your relatives?"

"No, I just want to go out for a walk." Tang Fei noticed that the three of them had grass clippings on their shoes and the hem of their clothes. They should have just returned from paying respects to their relatives in the outskirts of the city.

"Tang Fei, are they your friends?" Feng Chenying took a step forward and asked, putting her hands on Tang Fei's waist naturally.He had already known from You'er that Tang Fei used his real name, so it was not surprising at all.

Tang Fei frowned, stepped forward and dodged without any trace, and then said to He Xi: "By the way, this is my friend, Feng Chenying." Turning his head to Feng Chenying, he said: "They are my former Friends I met not long ago, this is He Xi, this is Liu Yi, and this is Chunyu Jue." In fact, he didn't know Liu Yi and Chunyu Jue at all, so he just introduced them in passing.

Feng Chenying raised the corners of her lips, He Xi?

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Feng Chenying cupped her hands and bowed.He Xi and Liu Yi saluted him back, but Chunyu Jue was the only one who was indifferent and looked ahead indifferently.

"Sorry, my brother is young and ignorant." Liu Yi immediately came out to smooth things over.Chunyu Jue immediately gave him a hard look, as if saying "Who is your brother"!

Feng Chenying swept Chunyu Jue's delicate face calmly, forgave his rudeness in the spirit of his love for beauties, and said, "It's okay."

"We're planning to go to Fanghua Building for lunch. It's better to meet by chance than to invite each other. Brother Tang and Brother Feng, how about a favor?" Liu Yi invited.

He Xi looked at Tang Fei with hopeful eyes, and Tang Fei immediately said: "Then respect is worse than obedience."

Feng Chenying's eyes flashed, then she turned her head to look at Tang Fei dotingly and said, "It's whatever you say, anyway, I'll follow you wherever you go."

Tang Fei rolled his eyes at him, he had never seen someone who liked acting so much!

It was Tang Fei's first visit to Fanghua Restaurant, mainly because he was afraid that the high-end restaurant would cost too much and he would not be able to afford it.All his money was saved for travel expenses back home, and he saved money for everything he did.

Tang Fei didn't know that He Xi's birthday was today until he finished ordering.

"Today is your birthday?!" Tang Fei looked at He Xi in surprise, but he was not prepared for anything.

"It's just a birthday, and it's still such a day, so don't mention it." He Xi saw Tang Fei's thoughts and explained lightly.He didn't want Tang Fei to think that he lied to him on purpose, but his birthday was on the Ghost Festival, which was not auspicious at all, not to mention it was a day when all kinds of ghosts were rampant, so avoid it if you can.

Tang Fei frowned. He had heard the saying that people born on the day of the Ghost Festival had heavy horoscopes before, and that they could overcome their parents and their families.But Tang Fei never believed in these things, even if there were strange things about him, he still didn't believe that a date of birth could determine a person's life or death.

"Sorry, but today is your birthday and I haven't prepared anything." Tang Fei looked at He Xi apologetically, He Xi smiled slightly, and said, "It's fine if you want it, don't be too rigid about the formality."

"That's right, people say it's okay, Tang Fei, so don't care about it!" Feng Chenying, who was left on the sidelines, said with some taste, how caring about another man so much in front of him? !

"That's right, Brother Tang, you don't have to be too polite. We'll just have a light meal with He Xi. Kindness is more important than courtesy." Qin Yi shook his fan and said, then turned to ask Chunyu Jue, "Xiao Jue, what I said Is it right?"

"Hmph!" Chunyu Jue snorted coldly and turned to avoid him, the expression on his face didn't change at all.

It just so happened that the maid came to serve the food at this time, breaking Qin Yi's embarrassment.

Tang Fei looked at He Xi who was sitting opposite him, and then glanced at the sumptuous dishes on the table.Why no eggs?With a flash of inspiration, Tang Fei stood up excitedly, he knew what to give He Xi!

"Girl, may I lend you the kitchen here?" Tang Fei turned around and said to the maid serving dishes, "I can pay you money."

The little maid raised her head, and after seeing Tang Fei's appearance, she couldn't help but turn red with a cute little round face. The little girl of sixteen or seventeen always had a crush on the tall, handsome and masculine man.He murmured: "Yes, yes, please come with me, my lord."

Tang Fei was a little funny. It reminded him that it was the same way when he was in college. When Chen Chen went shopping with him, 90.00% of the five little girls would come over and strike up a conversation with him and ask for a phone call. At that time, Chen Chen was often jealous of his high popularity. It is said that he has a charming peach blossom face.

"Then there's a girl." Tang Fei said to the little maid, then turned to He Xi and said, "I'll give you a gift." After speaking, he left a room full of people and followed the little maid.

Feng Chenying gritted her teeth and looked at Tang Fei who was walking away, and then glanced at He Xi calmly.He Xi received Feng Chenying's slightly hostile gaze, and then smiled lightly at him.

The corners of Feng Chenying's mouth twitched, and then she turned her head and said to Qin Yi: "I really don't know that the crown prince changed his surname to Liu. Why, the crown prince wants to change his identity after a long time?" These words were spoken in front of Tang Fei It's hard to say, Feng Chenying exposed Qin Yi's identity as soon as Tang Fei left.

"Hehehe, Pavilion Master Feng was just joking, just like your little boy pet, how can you not prepare a few fake names when you travel around the rivers and lakes in case you need them from time to time?" Qin Yi closed his fan and said to Feng Chenying with a kind face. .He knew that Feng Chenying could see his true identity, but he had to pretend to be stupid because of Tang Fei's presence.

"Oh? I'm a little male favorite, but I'm so stupid. Is what he said true or not? The shrewdness of the prince can't tell? It must be that Feng has been too ostentatious in petting him recently, which caused some unnecessary temptations?" Feng Chen Ying narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, and said while shaking her fan.

"The master of the Feng Pavilion is too worried. The acquaintance between the crown prince and my subordinates and Brother Tang is really just an oolong. I think the master of the pavilion has great powers, so it is impossible for him not to know?" He Xi took a sip of tea from the cup in hand, He looked up at Feng Chenying.

"Hehehe, as expected, he is the crown prince's number one advisor, with good eloquence." Feng Chenying condensed He Xi, with no emotion on her face.

"Besides, Brother Tang's figure and appearance are not like male favorites. When we made friends, we didn't even know Brother Tang's identity. Even now, we can't see that he has that kind of relationship with Pavilion Master Feng." He Xi smiled faintly, with a provocative tone in his tone.Even a blind person can see Tang Fei's indifference towards Feng Chenying!

Qin Yi was taken aback, and looked at He Xi thoughtfully. He, a counselor who never showed his feelings, let alone actively provoked him, would actually say such a thing?

Feng Chenying choked up and was speechless for a while.Just when the air was gradually condensing, Tang Fei, who borrowed the kitchen from others, finally came back.

Tang Fei held a tray in his hand, and on the tray was a thin plate with two fried eggs on it.

The golden heart of the egg is not fully cooked, and it still shakes slightly when lying on the egg white.

Tang Fei placed the plate in front of He Xi, and the eggs seasoned with salt and flowers exuded a tempting aroma, and the golden heart of the eggs made one look appetizing.

"This, uh, I made it, soft-boiled eggs, I wish you a birthday..." Tang Fei felt a little embarrassed, his eyes flickering so he didn't dare to look at He Xi's face.

He Xi looked at Tang Fei in surprise. It turns out that Tang Fei can also cook?And it looks like it's not bad, it's really unrecognizable!

Feng Chenying looked at Tang Fei even more surprised, he didn't know that Tang Fei could cook? !And the cooking skills seem to be good!But after the surprise, there was a wave of unknown anger. Tang Fei actually cooked in front of him to please another man!It's just that Feng Chenying concealed her emotions very well, and even looked at Tang Fei with a hint of admiration, and said softly: "You can also cook?"

Tang Fei looked at Feng Chenying, was taken aback by his doting eyes, then nodded as his answer.

"I really can't tell, Brother Tang still has this skill, I'm willing to bow down!" Qin Yi looked at He Xi enviously, the two beautiful eggs were delicious, He Xi is really lucky!Then he turned his head and looked at the Chunyu Jue next to him who treated others as air from the beginning to the end and ate the delicious dishes on the table by himself, and sighed inaudibly, why did he fall on this little bastard? hand?If it wasn't for the power in his hands to help him avenge his brother, he wouldn't even look at him, would he?Qin Yi sighed sadly again.

He Xi's eyes wandered over the two of them, and then with a light smile, he picked up a small spoon on the side, scooped a little on the egg yolk, and put it in his mouth to taste slowly.The taste is smooth, with a hint of sweetness, but it does not have the fishy smell of raw eggs at all. The taste is very unique, but the taste is excellent.

He Xi looked up at Tang Fei who was looking at him nervously, then smiled brightly and said, "It's delicious."

Tang Fei also raised a faint smile and said, "It's just as long as you like it."

Soft-boiled eggs are the only food Tang Fei knows how to cook, and they are also Chen Chen's favorite food.Looking at He Xi who was savoring the eggs carefully, Tang Fei still inevitably put his feelings for Chen Chen into He Xi.It's impossible for two people who are so similar to be indifferent, right?

During the banquet, Feng Chenying showed her care and consideration to Tang Fei, and also showed her generosity to "rival in love" He Xi.Not only did he not complain about Tang Fei making soup for others, but he also served Tang Fei comfortably.If Tang Fei wanted to eat fish, he would pick the thorns first and put them in his bowl.Tang Fei wanted to drink soup, so he would pour the soup into a bowl and serve it to him when the temperature was just right.This made Tang Fei extremely embarrassed, but the person concerned acted like he didn't notice it, and treated him more and more attentively.

Considerate to a little cautious, this is Tang Fei's feeling.So as soon as he returned to Fengqi Pavilion, Tang Fei couldn't help pulling Feng Chenying and asking, "What's wrong with you today?"

Feng Chenying was taken aback, then smiled a little lonely, and said: "It's nothing, are you tired today? Get some rest early, I won't bother you tonight."

Tang Fei was puzzled, is this Feng Chenying? !

"Feng Chenying," Tang Fei looked at him and sneered, "If you have any dissatisfaction, just tell me, who will you pretend to be like this?"

Feng Chenying was startled, turned around abruptly and grabbed Tang Fei's arm and roared in a low voice: "I'm putting on airs?! Yes, I'm putting on an act. Seeing the person I like care about others so much, I can laugh at them." So brilliant, but never willing to give me a smile! But I can only pretend not to care, but also to please you with a forced smile! I can only be careful in everything I do, so as not to make you angry! I am afraid that you will finally give me the chance That's it! I, Feng Chenying, have lived for 23 years, when have I ever been so useless?! If it wasn't because I really like you, I wouldn't be so mean and come to you to make you hate me!"

Tang Fei was startled, looking at Feng Chenying's slightly red eyes, he was speechless for a while!

Feng Chenying also felt her gaffe, she quickly calmed down, let go of Tang Fei and hurriedly said: "Sorry, you should rest early." Then she left without looking back.

Tang Fei froze in place. Could it be that he really went too far?He has an indescribable feeling for He Xi, and he knows that a large part of the reason is because of Chen Chen.But, why did he suddenly feel a little guilty when he looked at Feng Chenying's hurt eyes just now?Maybe, he was really too cold to him...

Early the next morning, Feng Chenying showed up in Tang Fei's small courtyard on time as usual.Looking at Tang Fei with the same affectionate eyes as always, and occasionally saying a few witty words to tease Tang Fei, the sudden gaffe last night seemed like it had never happened before.

Tang Fei looked at Feng Chenying unnaturally, but he didn't ignore him like before, and even invited him to have breakfast together.

Feng Chenying looked at the two runny eggs on the plate, then raised her eyes to Tang Fei.Tang Fei turned his head to avoid his gaze, and said awkwardly: "I think it was made after a few fresh eggs were delivered today..."

Feng Chenying smiled and didn't answer, picked up a small spoon and took a sip into her mouth.

Feng Chenying looked at Tang Fei with bright eyes, a small spoon was still in her mouth, and a surprised smile was drawn on the corner of her lips.The taste is melt in the mouth, the smell is sweet, without any fishy smell, this is the best fried egg he has ever eaten!

It was rare to see Feng Chenying have such a childish side, Tang Fei couldn't help laughing, and asked, "Is it delicious?"

Feng Chenying nodded violently, and then put all the remaining eggs into her stomach in two or three strokes, licked her mouth with unsatisfied desire after eating, and finally smacked her lips.

The smile on Tang Fei's face was even brighter than the one just now, and there was a rare warmth in his usually cold eyes.He never knew that Feng Chenying ate like this - a puppy!

As soon as Feng Chenying looked up after eating the eggs, she was dazzled by Tang Fei's smile, and her heart was confused for a moment.

It was night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and in the silent night, there were only insects and the "rustling" sound of the wind blowing the leaves.

Suddenly, a black shadow quickly disappeared into Wu Fei's willow courtyard.

Wu Fei was only wearing a gauze that had no covering effect at all, reclining on the soft couch.The man in black in front of him was looking at his alluring white body wantonly.

"Fang Lin will definitely leave the mansion when he accepts the lawsuit tomorrow. Feng Chenying will accompany the virtuous king to the Putuo Temple to offer incense. Tomorrow is a good time for you to do it. As for that troublesome Youer, I will find a way to let him You can't get out of the mansion, remember, don't miss it. Otherwise, if the master blames you, I can't protect you." Wu Fei said lazily with his eyes closed.

The man in black suddenly stepped forward and hugged Wu Fei, kissing his lips eagerly while panting, "I will definitely not let you down..."

Yuan Feiyuan.

Tie Huan looked at Feng Chenying, waiting for him to show.

"Don't disturb them, let them make their own troubles. Someone wants to play a monkey show to entertain me, can I not reward you?" Feng Chenying flipped through the novels of rural ghosts in her hand, reading with gusto while talking.

"Yes." Tie Huan thought for a while, and then asked, "Then, do we need to send someone to protect Mr. Fang Lin in secret?" Although they had made up their minds early on to use Fang Lin to find out the people behind Wu Fei, they didn't Knowing which side is behind Wu Fei, if something happens to Fang Lin, it will be very troublesome.

Feng Chenying's eyes flashed, and she remembered that smile this morning, and said: "No need, I also want to see how capable he is." It's just that he didn't expect that Tang Fei's concern could be obtained by showing weakness that night. He is more and more interested in him.If Tang Fei fell into such a danger, would he be able to escape by himself?Feng Chenying raised a nasty smile, he really wanted to take a look!
