I live on the 18th floor of Nether Community

Baiju is too short, and it will be another year of yellow plum season in a blink of an eye.

The rough hut at the foot of Buzhou Mountain no longer exists, replaced by a courtyard with three entrances and three exits.

The handsome young man was wearing a bamboo blue cloth shirt, leaning against the railing, holding a bamboo slip in his hand, and quietly opened it with lowered eyes.From time to time, I also took out a cleanly washed Bailanghao pen to make notes on it.

A ripe plum fell from the tree, and the boy quickly raised his hand to catch it quickly and accurately, without letting it stain his hair.

When he looked up at the person on the tree again, there was a trace of pampering helplessness in his eyes.

"Brother Ting, stop making trouble."

The man on the tree tied his long hair into a ponytail with a smile on his face.He tossed the plum in his hand up and down, and said with a twitch of his lips: "Why are you becoming more and more like a nerd, you bastard? Try it quickly, this plum is so sweet!"

As he spoke, he jumped in front of the boy, clapped his hands, looked at the boy and asked, "Where's Brother Xiao Hua?"

The young man's expression froze slightly, then he lowered his head and rubbed the plum that he listened to with his shirt, and whispered, "I don't know, I haven't seen him since early in the morning."

Di Ting snatched the cleaned plums, then threw his own one to the young man, took a bite and said, "Why is this guy always so mysterious lately..."

The boy took the plums and continued to wipe them obediently.

A gust of wind blew by, and the leaves were rustling.The young man quietly raised his head to look at Di Ting, who was licking his slender fingers stained with plum juice, a faint blush rose on his face, and the desperately suppressed desire for forbearance in his deep eyes became stronger and stronger .

The door was pushed open from the outside, and Lianhua was still wearing the moon-white robe, holding two jars of Jialan flower carvings in each hand.Just like when he first met Di Ting in this image in Xuli Mountain that year.

"Isn't it, Great Immortal...?" Di Ting quickly walked up to him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, looked at the wine in the other party's hand, and said with a broken smile, "Are you running to Mount Jialan again?"

"I didn't steal it this time." Lianhua put down the wine, then raised her hand and rubbed Diting's head very naturally, and said softly, "I traded it for something."

"What? The five guys who are ordinary things must definitely look down on them."

"..."

Seeing that Lianhua didn't speak for a long time, Di Ting raised his eyebrows and poked his chest lightly with his fingers, pretending to be serious: "Say?"

With this movement, Lianhua suddenly grabbed Di Ting's hand, and then exerted a little force to bring him closer to her.

His body temperature seeped into Di Ting's body following the contact between his fingers, and circulated repeatedly in his heart.

"Stop being good, it's useless." Although Di Ting said so, she still glanced away embarrassedly, swallowing her saliva secretly.

Recently, this little flower brother has become more and more knowledgeable about being pretty and committing crimes.

"A clam pearl returned to the ruins." Lianhua said lightly.

"Guixu... clam beads?!" Di heard the words and turned pale with shock, "Where did you get them? Why don't I know!"

"It was caught in a nearby river pond. It may have been brought by an undercurrent."

Listen to: "."

Well, now tell a lie without blinking an eye!

Di Ting rubbed the wine jar in pain, looking up to the sky and shouting loudly: "It takes at least a thousand years for a Guixu clam pearl to be cultivated, right? You, you, you...you actually trade it for wine?!"

"You said before that you miss the wine from Mount Jialan."

"Can……!"

"If you want to drink, let alone a mere clam pearl, it's not a bad idea if you want me to exchange it with my heart."

"I……"

Oh, not only learned to lie, but also learned to flirt.

Scheming, tricks, shameful... But, useful!

Ting Ting waved his sleeves with a headache and said: "Forget it, let's carry it in first. If you go back now, I'm afraid the Five Immortals of Jialan won't admit it."

"Tonight is the day when people put river lanterns to pray for peace. In the past years, those who were tossed by wars and horses have lost their minds at all. Now that the war is rarely brought to an end, we should celebrate it." Lianhua said softly, "All this is due to the credit. It's up to you."

"I'm just treating illnesses and saving people. If you hadn't been traveling and lobbying among various tribes to quell grievances, how would you have seen the current situation?" Having said this, the expression on the listener's face was also a little more gratified.He took a long breath and said, "It is reasonable to say that all the tribes are carefully developing the agricultural economy, and there should be no more wars in a short time."

Lianhua's eyes sank slightly, but she was still captured by Di Ting.

Di Ting: "What's wrong?"

"I went to the Jiuli tribe before, and met a man named Chi You." Lianhua paused and said, "No, to be precise, he should be a demigod."

"I know him." He heard that, "Emperor Yan's subordinates are really capable."

"Well, everyone has extraordinary vision and courage."

Di Ting looked at Lianhua's face carefully and said: "It is said that this person has a deep friendship with Emperor Yan and is quite trusted by him...Hey, why do you have such an expression?"

Lianhua shook her head slowly: "I don't know why, but I always feel that there is a ruthlessness in his bones, like someone who won't easily be content with the status quo..." After a moment of silence, he said again, "I'm worried that with this person's character, , can be easily exploited.”

"Are you afraid that he will start another war?" Di Ting asked.

"The truly terrible war . . . is the war for the sake of the war."

A bird flew into the sky from the plum tree.

Di Ting looked up at the sky, with light and shadow flowing in his eyes.

"I hope it's just you and me bothering people."

……

At night, the melodious and melodious sound of the grass flute came from the foot of the mountain again.

Di Ting was sitting by the river, holding a leaf in his hand and holding it to his lips.Beside him, there is half an altar of Jialan Huadiao that has not been finished.

Under the starry sky, some river lanterns are scattered on the water.They all come from a river called Loy.It is said that the Loi people living by the river have the ability to communicate with heaven and man, so they take on the mission of enshrining river lanterns for others as a matter of course, so as to appease the dead and pray for peace.

At this time, a thin figure came to Di Ting holding a small river lantern in both hands.He bent down, put the river lantern on the water, and then gently pushed towards the center.The Xiaohe Deng was carried by the water waves and flowed towards the mountain gap not far away.

"Not far ahead is the end of the river. What's the point of you putting a lamp here?" Di Ting put the grass flute back into his sleeve, and looked at the other party with a smile in his eyes.

"It's all due to the scene." The young man who answered him looked at the river lights and said softly, "Looking at it this way, the river water has really become much clearer now."

Di Ting nodded and said: "Isn't that right, when Brother Xiaohua and I first came, the water in this river was still red, and there was a pungent smell of blood."

"That year..." The young man looked far away, "That year you rescued me from the dead. Not only did you give me enough food, but you were also willing to treat me like a human being."

He looked back at Di Ting and said seriously: "You are the first person in this world to treat me as a human being."

Di Ting lowered his head and smiled, then took a sip from the wine jar, wiped his mouth casually, and said: "At that time, you were as thin as a big head of garlic with two soybean sprouts stuck in it. Luo became a handsome young man... Hey, let me say, is there any wish written on your river lantern?"

"Yes." The young man said softly.

"Tell me?"

"Do you want to know?"

Di Ting raised his eyebrows.

There was a hint of determination in the boy's dark pupils: "I want to be with you..."

"Listen carefully."

A deep voice behind him interrupted the boy's unfinished words.Di Ting turned around in response, and then a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Listening Truth: "Just now I saw that you read the book seriously, so I didn't bother you. Come, have a drink with me."

After speaking, he handed the wine jar in his hand to Lianhua.

Lianhua took the wine, took a sip at the place Di Ting had touched just now without hesitation, then sat down in front of Di Ting, and stretched out her hand to embrace him very naturally.

At the same time, the eyes of the thin young man beside him suddenly dimmed.

Di Ting was no longer as embarrassed by this as he was in the early years. Instead, he stretched his limbs and adjusted a comfortable posture, putting most of his body weight on Lianhua.

"Look now, it looks like a peaceful and prosperous age." Di Ting slightly looked at Lianhua's side face and said, "We are a family of three in the hidden world."

When Lianhua heard the words, a faint smile appeared on her lips, and she couldn't help but retracted the hand of Landi Ting, and said in a low voice: "So, you are my wife?"

"Ha, what are you kidding!" Di Ting reached out and squeezed Lianhua's chin, "I'm your husband-in-law."

"Brother Ting." Daoren called softly and stood up, "I'm a little tired."

"Oh, let's go back to the house first." Di Ting raised his head at Daoren, "We will go in after drinking this jar of wine together."

"Okay." Daoren pursed his lower lip, then turned and entered the yard.

The moment the courtyard door was closed, blood flowed out along the boy's bitten lip.He secretly raised his hand to wipe it, and licked it back into his mouth again.

The night covered the uncontrollable anger and hatred in his eyes, his nails dug into his palm, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Just now on the small river lantern, he wrote a sentence with a white wolf brush stroke by stroke-"I want to live with Xiaoting forever."

And on the back of the river lantern, he even wrote a line of small characters with the blood on the tip of his tongue.

——"May there be only me and him in this world from now on."

The running water was gurgling, and Di Ting's cheeks were a little drunk because of the alcohol, which was really alluring to Lianhua.

He took a breath calmly, but his voice was still a little hoarse than usual when he spoke.

"Is it cold?" Lianhua asked.

Di Ting looked at the other party with great interest, and suddenly leaned into his ear, blowing on purpose: "What are you doing? Still reminiscing about the 'family of three'?"

As if her mind was suddenly pierced, Lianhua's eyes dodged for a moment.Hearing this, Di became even more playful, and stretched out his hand to hook Lianhua to force him to look at him, winked at him and said, "Anyway, that boy Daoren has already fallen asleep, you really don't want to ask Xianggong to come and listen?"

"Don't tease me, listen carefully." Lianhua, who has always been calm and calm in dealing with things, really couldn't bear the teasing at this time, her voice became deeper, "You know I have always..."

"How has it been?" Di Ting deliberately continued to ask.

"..." Lianhua's throat twitched, and finally she smiled helplessly, and said with deep eyes, "I can't help but want to do all those degrading things."

Hearing the words, he patted his thigh and laughed: "I'm still doing it all?... You must be the only one in the world with this description, right?"

After finally laughing, he wiped the corners of his tears and said, "Honestly, Brother Hua, since when did you miss me?"

"..."

After a while of silence, Lianhua whispered: "When I was still a golden lotus..."

The human voice suddenly fell silent, but the summer insects in Kusama were screaming more joyfully.

In the not too long and not short years spent together, once some feelings are triggered, they will become out of control.

Now this quietly falling kiss is obviously not the first time for the two of them, but every time it is still as exciting as the first time...

How I want time to stand still...

Or, forever.
