Dream Maker [Rebirth]

night.

Hidden Spirit Secret Realm.

The well-proportioned houses were dimly lit, some disciples had already returned to their houses, and some were still staying in places such as the Library Pavilion and had not yet returned. As a result, every window in the residence in the secret realm became differently bright and dark.

The young Ji Wuzhou walked out of the dense forest, and walked to the residence alone under the moonlight as usual.

Walking into the big house, passing through several bright or dark windows, a thought that was very strange to him suddenly popped up in his mind——

Is my window bright or dark at this moment?

This is a question that has had a definite answer for more than ten years, but not long ago, the answer has become suspenseful.

——The junior with whom he was not supposed to have a half-way relationship broke into his life just by accident, making the originally uniform nights become confusing and confusing.

Sometimes when you open the door, you will see him holding the book engrossed in his hands, frowning slightly, chanting words, as if he is concentrating on studying.

Sometimes when he opened the door, he would be seen lying on the couch with his arms on his pillow and giggling. When he came back, he would turn over and sit cross-legged, talking about who and who in today's secret world with great interest.

Another time when I pushed open the door, I saw him holding an unopened wine jar with an expression on his face that he was about to die. After a while, he frowned and put his hands on the mouth of the jar and said righteously: "I'm going to open it, why don't you go out and hide first?" hide?"

Thinking of the lingering "scent of wine" that "wandered around the beam for three days", Ji Wuzhou suddenly wanted to laugh, and he didn't know how anyone in this world could produce such a strange "scent" from wine.

Thinking of this, he had already walked to the residence, but when he glanced at the window, he saw darkness.

haven't come back yet?

He stepped forward and pushed open the door, glanced around slightly under the moonlight, and found that Lu Ci was not in the room, but...

There seems to be something on my bed?

When Tayue walked to the bed, he looked down for a moment, and then realized that it was a brand new quilt.

Before he could think about it, he suddenly heard the sound of slight but hasty footsteps behind him.

Ji Wuzhou looked back, and saw Lu Cizheng crossing the threshold while turning his head and looking behind him, so absent-minded that he didn't even notice that his outstretched hand hadn't pushed the door panel.

Ji Wuzhou went forward, thinking that the sound of his footsteps would be enough to bring him back to his senses, but unexpectedly Lu Ci turned his head away and continued to walk forward without hearing it, until Bulendeng bumped into Ji Wuzhou.

"Ouch!" Lu Ci was taken aback, turned his head and saw that it was Ji Wuzhou, and said in surprise, "You're back? Then why don't you light the lamp?"

Ji Wuzhou said: "Just arrived."

Lu Ci let out an "oh", then walked around him to the side of the couch and lit a candle, turned around and closed the door, then ran to the table to pour a glass of water, raised his head and gulped it clean, and finally put down the water glass with satisfaction He let out a long sigh of relief.

His series of actions seemed to have just finished some tiring work, his slightly messy hair and rolled up sleeves seemed more like he had just returned from planting seedlings in the field, Ji Wuzhou couldn't help but wonder what he had done.

It's just that Ji Wuzhou didn't have the inquisitive nature after all, so he didn't ask where he went, but only looked at the brand new quilt and said, "You put this?"

Lu Ci turned his head to look, nodded and said, "Yes, it's for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately added as if he was afraid that Ji Wuzhou would not accept it: "Today, I happened to accompany Tongsang to Huahua Island to make quilts. I think there is still a lot of material left after he finished making a bed. It would be a waste if he didn't use it." , so I made a bed for you by the way."

Hearing that he deliberately put the emphasis on the word "By the way", Ji Wuzhou couldn't help being a little bit funny, staring at him for a moment before nodding his head and saying: "Thank you."

Seeing that he was willing to accept it, Lu Ci smiled happily: "You're welcome."

At this moment, there was a faint commotion outside the house, mixed with many indistinct exclamations, as if some commotion had occurred in the distance.

Ji Wuzhou looked out of the window according to his prestige, and Lu Ci also turned his head to take a look, but quickly looked away as if he was not interested at all, and greeted: "It's getting late, go to sleep."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the washing place behind the house without hesitation.

Ji Wuzhou couldn't help being a little surprised, he thought that with Lu Ci's temperament, he would open the door and go out to find out, but unexpectedly he showed such indifference.

But since even he wasn't curious, Ji Wuzhou, who never liked to join in the fun, naturally didn't pay much attention to it. After staring at the quilt for a while, he bent down and stretched out his hands to spread it out.

Lu Ci soon came back from washing, saw the rolled-out quilt secretly curling the corners of his mouth, then sat on the side of his bed and was about to take off his shoes and get on the couch.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down firmly, there was a sudden "dong dong dong" knock on the door outside the house. Lu Ci couldn't help being puzzled, so he had to get up again and go to open the door.

The door opened with a "squeak", and Tong Sang outside the house yelled, "My house is on fire!"

Lu Ci closed his eyes after being yelled at, and opened them again after a while, holding the door with his hands, and said expressionlessly, "Oh, your things burned?"

Seeing that his reaction was so dull, Tong Sang frowned dissatisfiedly, then shook his head and said: "That's not true, it's strange to say, it was Brother Yang's side that caught fire, his things were all burned, and mine Nothing."

Lu Ci didn't seem to find it strange at all, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then what are you doing here?"

Tong Sang was taken aback by the question at first, and then slapped his forehead and said, "Oh yes, didn't you make a new quilt today? It's not in use yet, right? Bring it first."

Lu Ci was puzzled: "It's his stuff and not yours, what do you want a quilt for?"

Tong Sang said: "Hey, didn't he burn out his bedding, and he couldn't make new ones in the middle of the night, so he wanted to use his jade pendant to exchange bed quilts with others. I saw his pendant. , the workmanship is exquisite! You will definitely not lose money if you exchange the quilt with him."

Lu Ci narrowed his eyes and said, "Then why don't you change it yourself?"

"I really want to change it!" Tong Sang said angrily, "But what they want is a new one. My bed has been used for several years. I'm willing to change it, but I'm not willing to take it!"

At this point, he suddenly thought of something again: "By the way, last time you agreed to accompany me to make a new bed? Why don't you go to Huahua Island today and call—"

"Cough!" Lu Ci interrupted him with a heavy cough, then waved impatiently and said, "No change, no change, let him stay where it is cool! Go back to sleep quickly, walk around Walk--"

Saying that, without waiting for Tongsang's reaction, he slammed the door panel with a "bang".

Outside the door, Tong Sang, who was almost pinched by him, stared at the door in disbelief: "Hey?"

Inside the door, Lu Ci pressed the door panel in silence for a while, then turned around and walked towards his bed as if nothing had happened. As he walked, he felt a pair of eyes following him like a shadow, staring at him almost at the same time.

Helpless, he had no choice but to stand still and take a deep breath, then turned his head and said with a playful smile: "Look, Senior Brother Yang, this is called evil will be rewarded with evil. God sees that he likes to throw things so much, so why not burn him clean!"

Ji Wuzhou looked at him quietly without saying a word, no emotion could be seen in his shallow eyes.

Facing this gaze, the playful smile on Lu Ci's face stiffened little by little, just when he felt that he was about to lose his grip, Ji Wuzhou suddenly looked away, turned around and went to the cabinet, took out a new set of clothes and threw them away.

Lu Ci hurriedly caught it, but he didn't understand it at all, so he asked, "What are you doing?"

Ji Wuzhou's gaze swept down on him helplessly: "The hem of the clothes is burnt, God."

Lu Ci looked down, and suddenly found that there was a large piece of burnt black marks on the hem of his clothes. Thinking about Ji Wuzhou's name, how could he not understand that his actions had been thoroughly understood long ago, and suddenly felt Embarrassed, he stood there for a moment, then turned around as if escaping, walked quickly to the bedside, lifted the quilt and got in, covering himself tightly from head to toe.

"I slept!"

An indistinct muffled sound came out through the quilt, and Ji Wuzhou couldn't help being a little lost in thought as he looked at the bulging figure.

——He had actually seen the scorched blackness on the hem of the clothes long ago, but he didn't think deeply about how it came about, until he heard from Tong Sang that Brother Yang's bed was on fire, and then thought about Lu Ci's absent-minded appearance when he returned to the house and his hearing Uncharacteristically indifferent when it was noisy outside, it was only then that he suddenly guessed the reason.

After regaining consciousness, Ji Wuzhou couldn't help looking at the quilt on his couch that was obviously made specially for him but insisted on saying that it was made "by the way" because of the excess material, feeling a little uncomfortable for a while. Word.

This taste is too strange.

So strange that he didn't know how to describe it.

……

Early the next morning.

When Lu Ci woke up, he poked his head out of the quilt silently, and saw that Ji Wuzhou's bed was empty, he breathed a sigh of relief, got up, washed and changed, and went out.

Just after walking not far away, he suddenly saw Tong Sang trotting towards him, panting heavily before and after he got close, he asked, "Where's... Where is Senior Brother Ji?"

The phrase "senior brother" was very difficult to pronounce, because he suddenly remembered that Lu Ci had ordered him not to mention the word "plague god" again, so he almost blurted out the word but changed it abruptly.

Lu Ci asked curiously, "Why are you looking for him?"

"It's not me looking for him," Tong Sang continued panting, "it's Master looking for him and telling him to come over."

"Master looking for him?" Lu Ci was even more suspicious, "Why did Master seek him?"

Tong Sang took two deep breaths, finally breathed evenly, and then explained: "Didn't Brother Yang's bedding burnt out last night? Early this morning, he found that the oil lamp seemed to have been touched by someone, so he ran to find Master. , insisted that Senior Brother Ji must have deliberately retaliated against the house allocation before. If not, Master asked me to come to Senior Brother Ji and confront him face-to-face."

Lu Ci couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and said impatiently, "He's really troublesome."

"Who?" Tong Sang asked in a daze, "Brother Yang? Or... Master?"

Lu Ci was too lazy to care about his mental retardation, raised his hand and patted his arm and said, "Okay, you don't have to look for him, I'll go there."

"You?" Tong Sang asked strangely, "What did you do in the past?"

"Then don't worry about it," Lu Ci said, "This matter has nothing to do with you, so don't worry about it, go and do your own thing, ah."

"Oh." Tong Sang blinked his eyes, although he was still a little puzzled, he didn't ask any more.

Lu Ci walked around him for a few steps, then suddenly stopped and turned around and said, "That's right."

Tong Sang said: "Huh?"

Lu Ci said: "I will accompany you to Huahua Island in the afternoon."

Tong Sang was startled for a moment, and then happily said: "That's great!"

Lu Ci also smiled, turned around and continued walking forward.
