How to catch a demon god? !

A woman who can freely control the Gu art still cannot escape the nightmare.

In her dreams, she would sometimes go back to Qiao's courtyard where she used to live with Qiao Ran, dreaming of the man's youthful appearance, still with that slightly dull expression, and dreaming of his gentle movements when he bandaged her wound.Before she had time to savor the warmth of the sunlight falling on the ginkgo trees in the backyard of Qiao's courtyard, the painting style of the dream changed, and the next second she was standing on the edge of a cliff with a biting cold wind, and a woman stretched out her hand to push her away. down the cliff.She couldn't see each other clearly, but she knew that she was a human being whose life was almost taken away by her.In the dream, she couldn't resist, and could only let herself fall continuously, falling endlessly.

Maybe there is an abyss behind her, maybe there is nothingness behind her.

Trembling all over, Bai Meng woke up from the dream.Fragrant sweat soaked the silk nightdress.

It's the same dream again.

She couldn't even remember that woman's face for a long time, but she dreamed of her repeatedly for more than 60 years.

The rodent family Muridae is a kind of soft-hearted and unwilling to hurt people.She threw herself into the Yin Formation Gu Sect for a man she couldn't get, and almost took the life of an innocent person. This inner shackle may have to be carried for a lifetime.

She's used to it.

Since Zi Cheng released her, the frequency of nightmares has also increased.Probably because when there is a master, she can still close her own thinking, as long as she obeys the master's order, it is convenient and easy to numb, so it can be more worry-free.But once she was back to herself, she didn't live so chicly.

Qiao Ran is her dream, Qiao Ran's wife is her heart disease, Xiao Qiao...

Little Joe was her cherished friend.

She also couldn't explain why her relationship with Qiao Pingyang was getting better and better, and she even became close friends now.There seems to be some truth in the saying that people don't know each other without fighting.But in the end, maybe she wanted to atone for her sins on Qiao Pingyang.People are selfish.After all, it's not all for the comfort of my heart.She was kind to Qiao Pingyang, but it was also for herself.

That's right, the biggest characteristic of rodents is timidity and cowardice.

She has it all.

"Huh..." Breathing out, Bai Meng knew that he probably wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.She got up and opened the notebook, went to the bathroom to take a quick shower, changed into a clean loose dress, and then poured herself a glass of cool water.After finishing all this, she sat in front of the workbench, opened the manuscript being serialized, brewed her work mood for a while, and devoted herself to the great cause of coding.

The rattling sound lasted for more than 50 minutes.She stopped, picked up the cup and took two sips of water to moisten her throat.

The cursor flickered behind the cloud word "cloudless".

Suddenly think of a person.

岄云气.In order to save Xiao Qiao, she ran to the snow-capped mountains of Cambodia, and a series of bloody dramas happened. In the end, Shao Ling unexpectedly had twins.What's more coincidental is that the princess of the spirit fox family seems to be her book fan, and even came to her book signing.What's even more incredible is that she felt that Yan Yunxi might be interested in her...?

Last week, Yunxi also sent front row tickets to the show, inviting her to watch her debut.She couldn't think of a reason to refuse, and considering that Qiao Qianyu and Xueyin would also be there, she took the ticket and went.

I have to say that Yan Yunxi is full of charm.

She doesn't know much about rock and music, but she is also a woman, and she can feel the confidence exuding from Yan Yunxi and the firm belief in her eyes.

And when she looked at her from the audience, those blue eyes would occasionally meet her gaze.

"...It's an illusion." Bai Meng held the cup and said to himself.

Even if she was standing in the front row, but there were so many people in the audience, hundreds of people crowded together, how could she see exactly where she was standing and still look at her...

Well, it's probably because she thinks too much.

"By the way... I'm not interested in women..."

What if Yan Yunxi is really interested in her?Wouldn't it be too hurtful to directly refuse?

In the middle of the night, Bai Meng became troubled alone.

After the rainy season ended, this southern city ushered in a new round of dog-day trials.A creature like Bai Meng, whose original shape is hairy, is very afraid of heat. It's no big deal. He can already go out of the door without leaving the door, and hide in the air-conditioning for a day.However, a work call broke her dream that had been dormant for the whole summer.

"Mr. Mengmeng, because the release date of your new book is very close to that of Mr. Qiao, the editorial department has decided to hold a live two-person interview and signing event after discussion. The time is set for Saturday, the 23rd of this month. You have no problem here. Bar?"

Bai Meng clicked the mouse on the calendar to confirm, July 22nd, the Great Heat, the first day after the Great Heat... I really know how to choose a date.

She swallowed her sigh and agreed.

After hanging up the phone, she called Qiao Qianyu directly: "Xiaoyu, you have also been notified? The joint signing event on the 23rd."

Qiao Qianyu said: "I have received it. The exact duration seems to have not been finalized yet. However, from previous experience, the visit lasted for half an hour, and the signing and sales did not run away for two hours..."

"Every book has to be bundled and sold, and it's not an artist group."

Qiao Qianyu was amused and laughed loudly: "Speaking of groups, Qinglan and the others will have a commercial show again in a few days. Has classmate Yunxi sent you a ticket this time?"

"...No." Bai Meng cursed, and she had no reason to send her a ticket.

"Bet she'll send you a packet of spicy sticks!"

"...I don't like spicy noodles, can I bet on something else?"

However, Qiao Qianyu, a person with serious divergent thinking, suddenly brought the topic back to the signing meeting: "I remember she was your crazy fan? She will go to the signing meeting, right? Your new book announcement this time It’s too big to say.”

Bai Meng thought for a while, and realized that it was really possible.

……

So what, she was just one of her thousands of book fans anyway.Don't worry too much about it.

"Ding-dong-"

"Someone is ringing the doorbell, Xiaoyu, wait a moment."

Bai Meng put down her phone and got up to open the door.There was a courier outside the door. After signing for the flat folder, he tore it open in twos and twos. Inside was an envelope with a live admission ticket, front row, in the middle.

"..."

She put down the ticket and picked up the phone again, and said to Qiao Qianyu, "I owe you a pack of spicy strips."

What responded to her was Qiao Qianyu's heartless and hearty laughter.

In the end, she didn't think too much about it, so she went to watch the show anyway.Just like the first time, standing in the audience, she could feel Yan Yunxi's eyes from time to time, but she told herself that there was nothing to care about.It's useless to care, she can't respond to Yan Yunxi's feelings.This question is beyond the outline, she can't solve it.And Yan Yunxi didn't do anything other than send her the ticket.Just like this, separated by a stage, it's purely the relationship between the performer and the audience, she thinks it's pretty good.

Flash forward to the day of the signing event on the 23rd.

Bai Meng chooses relatively intellectual clothes in the workplace, her curly hair is tied into a bun to reveal her neck, and her willow-leaf eyebrows are tender as water.Qiao Qianyu, on the other hand, still followed her usual iceberg route, with a long black shawl, a shallow smile, and a full aura of keeping strangers away.Also labeled as "beauty writers", but with strong contrasts, the two sat together for an interview and attracted a lot of attention from the outside world. A large number of passersby surrounded the scene.

The whole visit went smoothly, and near the end, the reporter asked the final question: "Finally, I would like to ask the majority of male fans their aspirations. May I ask Mr. Qiao and Ms. Mengmeng, what type of boys do you like?" ?”

Questions like these have been answered eight times, if not ten times, and they have all answered the routine.

Qiao Qianyu replied sharply: "There is no specific type, just feel right."

"Thank you, Teacher Qiao, what about Teacher Mengmeng?"

The corners of Bai Meng's mouth curled up just right, and she said softly: "Maybe I prefer people with beautiful eyes."

"Thank you, Mr. Mengmeng. Thanks again to the two teachers for the wonderful interview today. Next is the signing time, please go to the signing desk."

Qiao Qianyu got up and took Bai Meng's arm generously, and said in a small voice, "Bet another bag of spicy noodles, and Yunxi is here today."

"Can I have potato chips instead?"

"Chocolate chips."

... This is a bit different from the price of spicy strips.

Bai Meng smiled and nodded.

More than ten minutes had passed since the signing started, and the atmosphere was lively. Bai Meng's side had mostly male fans, while Qiao Qianyu's side had mostly female fans. There seemed to be an invisible watershed between the two signing tables based on gender.

After signing the book in hand, Bai Meng smiled and bid farewell to the countless readers in front of her, and naturally cast her eyes on the next one.

When her eyes came into contact with a pair of blue eyes, she bit her lower lip slightly.

Qiao Qianyu kept the pen in her hand. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the movement of the two people next to her, and she was overjoyed—he got the chocolate chips.

Yan Yunxi said "hi", and handed the book in his hand to Bai Meng.She looks a little different today than usual, because she is used to seeing her dressed in black and cool on the stage. The simple denim short sleeves make her look clear and clear, which adds to her favorability.

"Thank you for coming to my scene." Her voice was neither high nor low, very clear.

Bai Meng began to wonder if she was blind, why she mistook her for a man the first time she came to participate in the signing, it seems that she really should pay more attention to the fan group... Of course, psychological activities belong to psychological activities, She politely responded: "Thank you for buying my book." After finishing speaking, she stopped looking at Yunxi, lowered her head and opened the title page, and signed her pen name, "Is there anything special you want me to sign on it?"

"Are my eyes pretty?"

"..."

Regarding Ya Yunxi's nonsensical question, Bai Meng looked up at her suspiciously, and the next moment she realized that it was the type she just casually talked about during the interview... I don't know if Ya Yunxi is serious or just learning it now. Take it away and tease her.

Seeing that she didn't reply, Yan Yunxi said again: "Please sign 'To You With Beautiful Eyes', thank you."

"..."

Bai Meng was speechless and satisfied her request.After signing, he returned the book to Yan Yunxi, and said with a slight smile, "You're welcome."

Yan Yunxi took the book and left contentedly.

Seeing her happy expression before turning around, Bai Meng felt a little funny.Such a tall man, but like a child.In terms of age, she is as old as Young Master Ling, and she is obviously a mature demon, yet she has such a happy expression because of a word.I really don't understand... But she doesn't have to understand it.

She turned her eyes to the next reader and greeted her with a smile: "Thank you for buying my book."

After the celebration banquet, Bai Meng suddenly wanted to visit Qiao's courtyard.She turned down the invitation to the second meeting, bid farewell to Qiao Qianyu, and walked to Qiao's courtyard alone along the path in her memory on a midsummer night.

The wind blowing in front of her was full of heat, and Bai Meng, who had slowed down her pace as much as possible, was still sweating when she walked there.

She stopped more than ten steps away from Qiao's courtyard, and she could already see the tall ginkgo tree in the backyard from a distance, and the branches had long stretched out from the courtyard wall.At the gate of the courtyard, an old man with gray hair was sitting on a small bench with a teapot in front of him, as if enjoying the cool air. 20 years ago, Qiao Ran was not young when he went to the Lijiang River to prevent Zicheng from crossing the catastrophe, but now he can't find half of the high-spirited young man back then.

Time is cruel to the demon, the life span of the demon is too long, and there will always be a sense of hesitation and loneliness spontaneously after living for too long.

But the years are not merciless to human beings.

60 years, for her, the time is in the blink of an eye, as if she lived in Qiao's courtyard and accepted Qiao Ran's care just yesterday.But the man she cared about had changed a long time ago.

She stood in the distance and watched quietly for a while, then turned and left.

One glance is enough.Qiao Ran was imprisoned by Zicheng and used up all his spiritual energy. Now he is an ordinary old man. He seems to be in good spirits, so she feels at ease.She is an accomplice, she is an accessory, she doesn't have the face to stand in front of him again.Of course, the peace of mind mentioned here is only out of her selfish psychology.

She thought that this might be the last time she came to Qiao's courtyard.

There is only one week left in July, and Bai Meng is at home pinching the last time to catch up on the manuscript.During this period, Qiao Qianyu called twice more, basically saying that Xueyin was going to celebrate the birthdays of Xiaoqiao and Ling Shao's two little foxes, and wanted to ask her to go shopping and pick out gifts.Of course she agreed.

However, when they arrived at the agreed place, Qiao Qianyu was not there.Standing there instead was Yan Yunxi.

"..."

It seems too stingy to pretend that you have never been here and leave directly.Which play is Qiao Qianyu singing in?Buy her chocolate chips and hot sticks for nothing.

Yan Yunxi waved to her heartily, and there was a dreamy fifteen centimeter height difference between the two: "Niece Xiao Qiao said she was suddenly unavailable, so she asked me to come for her. Didn't she tell you in advance?"

It was obvious that it was intentional, so how could I tell her.

Bai Meng sighed: "Yes, she didn't tell me. Let's go, I'm going to buy a gift for the little fox today."

Shining stars appeared in Yan Yunxi's blue eyes: "Okay."

Why is she so happy...

Bai Meng pinched the hem of the dress a little uncomfortably, and asked tentatively, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"

Yan Yunxi was taken aback, then smiled again: "There are so many. Where do you want to start listening?"

"Let's start from the beginning. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry."

"Then will you consider accepting what I said?"

Bai Meng pursed her lips and replied honestly: "Not necessarily. I haven't encountered such a thing before..."

Seeing that she raised her brows seriously, Yan Yunxi laughed out loud: "You don't have to think so much. Just tell me, we can be friends first, that's what all the girls in the book say what?"

"..."

Those pupils are like a boundless galaxy.

Bai Meng nodded and agreed, "Since you ask so, let's be friends first."

"it's my honour."

While she may not really be interested in girls, having multiple friends is fine.Qiao Ran was her dream, Qiao Ran's wife was her sin, and Xiao Qiao was her most cherished friend now.However, it seems that there is still room in her heart, and she can still pretend to be a new person.

That's fine now.

For the future, leave it to the future self to struggle.

Seeing Yan Yunxi's sincere smile, Bai Meng also showed her the first, non-commercial, shallow smile.
