[Rat cat] Mirror City

When he opened his eyes, he didn't see the familiar ceiling, Bai Yutang immediately knew that his premonition before going to bed had come true, and he returned to this dreamland again.

Bai Yutang's mood was a bit complicated, he didn't know whether he should be happy or feel weird that this premonition came true.However, Bai Yutang has always been a very decisive person, and his curiosity about the follow-up of the dream prevailed.

Once the decision was made, Bai Yutang began to pay attention to his environment.Originally, Bai Yutang thought that this dream would follow the last one in Zhan Zhao's small courtyard, but it was obviously not here.

There is no peach tree, no stone table, this is not Zhan Zhao's small courtyard.Looking around, Bai Yutang didn't even see Zhan Zhao.So what is he doing here?

A gust of wind blows, carrying the unique taste of sea water.He is by the sea?Walking along the source of the sea breeze, Bai Yutang saw the sea as expected.

Is he on an island?This realization surprised Bai Yutang a little, he didn't understand why the dream jump was so big this time.Bai Yutang found a stone tablet standing not far away, with three large characters "Xiankong Island" written on it.

It's really on an island.The sky turned slightly bright white, and Bai Yutang noticed that it was early morning.There are several boats docked side by side at the ferry, and some boat owners have already come in and out and started to prepare for the whole day's livelihood.

Bai Yutang was very sure that he would not appear here out of nowhere, and he had a strong premonition that he would see Zhan Zhao.Bai Yutang walked all the way along the beach, and finally found Zhan Zhao, who was sitting quietly on a big rock alone, looking at the sea and wondering what he was thinking.

found it.Bai Yutang showed a satisfied smile, and finally let him find an acquaintance, um, although he didn't say a word to this acquaintance, and this acquaintance had never seen him at all.

Zhan Zhao is different from what he saw before.After taking off his red official uniform, Zhan Zhao wore blue clothes and sat casually. He put the Juque sword aside, Zhan Zhao supported the giant que with his right hand, and rested his left hand on his bent knee, almost blending into the night. as one.

When the sea breeze blows, Zhan Zhao's hair will also flutter, and Bai Yutang can distinguish Zhan Zhao's outline from a distance with the help of the faint morning light and clear hair.

Lightly stopping beside Zhan Zhao, even though he knew that Zhan Zhao would not answer him, Bai Yutang still asked, "What are you looking at?" Of course he didn't get an answer, but Bai Yutang never tired of it.

Although Bai Yutang was not a talkative person, it was strange enough for him to appear in the dream alone. If he was told not to talk, Bai Yutang felt that he might not be aware of himself.

And... Seeing Zhan Zhao like this, Bai Yutang always felt that he should talk to him, even if Zhan Zhao couldn't hear him, Bai Yutang felt that he should talk to him.

Bai Yutang lowered his head, just facing the top of Zhan Zhao's head. Bai Yutang suddenly felt that Zhan Zhao was like a frustrated kitten, which made him want to reach out and pat him on the head.

Another gust of sea breeze blew by, Zhan Zhao's hair flew towards Bai Yutang's direction, Bai Yutang subconsciously stretched out his hand, although he couldn't touch it, he could still feel the wetness on Zhan Zhao's hair.

How long has he been sitting here?Bai Yutang is really... If he can touch him, Bai Yutang swears, he will definitely throw this self-abuse man back to the room and let him have a good rest.

Bai Yutang glared at Zhan Zhao angrily, and after a while he realized in frustration that it was useless for him to stand here and stare blankly, the point was that the person he was staring at would not be aware that someone was staring at him at all.

After much deliberation, Bai Yutang felt that he was making trouble for himself.After struggling for a while, Bai Yutang sat down beside Zhan Zhao. Bai Yutang thought that although I can't cure you, I can... what can I do?Bai Yutang was frustrated to find that he couldn't do anything.

Depressed, Bai Yutang was depressed by himself, and didn't bother to visit Zhan Zhao.After sitting quietly with Zhan Zhao for a while, Bai Yutang finally turned his head to look at Zhan Zhaolai.

Seeing this, Bai Yutang was relieved a lot.Compared to the sad expression he saw in his dream last time, Zhan Zhao's expression is much better now, his brows are relaxed and calmer, his whole person has become much calmer, and he has lost the previous lifelessness.

Although depression and loneliness can still be seen in Zhan Zhao, it can be seen that Zhan Zhao has almost walked out of the previous grief, and his mood has calmed down a lot.

Zhan Zhao is a strong person.Bai Yutang thought so, and then he thought that it was impossible for Zhan Zhao to regain his composure so quickly, unless it had been a while since his last dream, the reality in the dream.

Although he still felt a little jumpy, Bai Yutang was more relieved than these things. At least he didn't have to worry about this person jumping into the sea to commit suicide and he could do nothing but be a real bystander, right?

Bai Yutang also relaxed, and supported the stone surface with both hands and leaned back. In the dream, he didn't know he was tired, otherwise Bai Yutang really wouldn't mind sleeping here.

But now he just supports his body and looks at the sea level with Zhan Zhao.At this time, the morning light in the sky became more and more dazzling, like the fire in the darkness stretched and extended, dyeing the gloomy sky bright, just wait, wait, and the bright morning will come.

Hearing Zhan Zhao chuckle, Bai Yutang turned his head in surprise, and saw Zhan Zhao staring ahead, showing the first smile Bai Yutang knew.

It turned out that he came here to watch the sunrise.Bai Yutang also laughed, feeling that something was quickly withdrawn from his heart, and he immediately felt relieved.He also turned his head, assumed the same sitting posture as Zhan Zhao, and stared at the sea.

Time seemed to be humming tick-tock under the rhythm of the sea breeze, beating every second, and passing by every second. Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao watched a soft red glow emerge from the sky, bright and soft The color penetrates the undulating clouds, extending a little bit.

An arc is slowly rising on the sea level. There is obviously no wind, but Bai Yutang feels that the sea surface is rippled by the rising sun, and the water waves are chasing towards the shore. Bai Yutang even thinks he can hear it. sound of water.

This is probably the feeling that the sunrise and the river flowers are red and the fire is better. Seeing the red of the first sun and the blue of the sea ambiguously mixed into purple, Bai Yutang feels that every part of his body is full of vitality.

Subconsciously looking back at Zhan Zhao, he was still smiling.It was only then that Bai Yutang realized that he had always thought what Zhan Zhao's smile looked like before, and now he knew it.

Just like the sunlight at sunrise, it is calm and gentle, neither too intense nor too indifferent, just like that brewing vitality and everything.

At this moment, Zhan Zhao faded away all the sadness, he was simply happy because of the sunrise, and he was simply happy because of the beginning of a new day, showing the most authentic smile.

This is him.Bai Yutang felt that sitting by the sea and watching the sunrise was really a good choice. "The sunrise here is really beautiful." Zhan Zhao said suddenly.Bai Yutang was taken aback, thinking that he was watching him when Zhan Zhao discovered him.

Bai Yutang belatedly remembered that Zhan Zhao was not talking to him, but just talking to himself, and Zhan Zhao showed a little loneliness when talking to himself.

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao silently, not understanding why Zhan Zhao's mood had changed again, but he always felt that this had something to do with the person with the same name as himself.

The two of them sat on the shore for a long time, so long that the sky went from being slightly bright at the beginning to brightly bright later, Bai Yutang was a little worried that they were going to sit here all day?

Watching the sunrise by the beach is a beautiful thing, but if you still sit by the beach after watching it, unless you are a romantic person, this beautiful day will be diluted in the eyes of ordinary people.

Fortunately, Zhan Zhao didn't intend to sit here for a whole day, and when the two got up, a man dressed as a servant also came to the rock, and said respectfully: "Master Zhan, the lady is ready, go back first." Eat some."

"It's really troublesome sister-in-law, I'll go back now." Zhan Zhao thanked with a smile, and walked back with the servant, Bai Yutang also followed.By the way, if you eat breakfast, you shouldn't be hungry, right?Bai Yutang suddenly realized such a problem.

The servant led the two into the house.As soon as Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang walked into the dining room, they saw a woman busy arranging plates, and the table was full of delicate pastries.

"Sister-in-law." Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang shouted at the same time.Zhan Zhao did it out of habit, while Bai Yutang yelled this out of a strange coincidence, because for a moment he looked away and thought he saw his sister-in-law Min Xiuxiu, just because the woman in front of her was holding a plate with a smile on her face. Like his sister-in-law, Min Soo-soo often serves them dishes while humming and smiling.

"Zhan Zhao, you're here. Come on, I made these, come and eat some." Min Xiuxiu pulled Zhan Zhao to sit beside her, and gave Zhan Zhao a few pastries.

Zhan Zhao didn't refuse either, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.Min Xiuxiu looked at him with relief. Before Zhan Zhao came here, Lu Fang sent her a letter to help Zhan Zhao.Fortunately, Zhan Zhao didn't do anything to scare her during the past few days on the empty island.

"Thank you sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, I have to trouble you to make breakfast for me so early... I have troubled you these days too." Zhan Zhao felt a little sorry. Originally, he planned to leave Xingkong Island after watching the sunrise, but he didn't expect Min Soo Soo would wake up so early.

"Don't say that, Zhan Zhao. Thanks to you for being with me these days, Zhen'er is naughty, and runs to Kaifeng every few days, clamoring to be a hero like his father and uncles. I am worried about being bored. You are here to accompany me."

Min Xiuxiu put a few more cakes into Zhan Zhao's bowl, Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, not to mention, this habit is exactly the same as his sister-in-law's.

"Today, I woke up early to arrest you, just because I was afraid that you would sneak away." Min Soo-soo said with an expression of "I knew it", "You are leaving Sunken Island today, so I can't just sit back and watch you leave. ,eat more."

Seeing Min Xiuxiu's gesture of adding more vegetables to Zhan Zhao's plate, Bai Yutang couldn't help thinking that maybe Zhan Zhao wanted to run away just to avoid your enthusiasm.Anyway, it's okay if he said it, Zhan Zhao's sister-in-law couldn't hear it.

"Zhan Zhao, where do you want to go next? Don't tell me you're going back to Kaifeng again." Min Xiuxiu was still quite worried about Zhan Zhao's next itinerary. Since the death of his fifth brother, Zhan Zhao has been preoccupied with business affairs.

In the past, Zhan Zhao was interested in playing but had no time to be a part of himself. The fifth brother dragged him to use the rest time to go out for sightseeing. Although Zhan Zhao liked that kind of life, but now that Bai Yutang was gone, Zhan Zhao's desire to play became even weaker.

Knowing Min Xiuxiu's worry, Zhan Zhao put down his chopsticks and said, "No, this time Master Bao and Mr. Gongsun insisted that I take a good rest for a while. If I go back to Kaifeng, they will probably throw me out."

Bai Yutang looked up in surprise, the two finally couldn't help throwing Zhan Zhao out to relax.Well done.

"I want to go back to Changzhou." Bai Yutang heard Zhan Zhao say this, and when he looked up, he found that the expression on Min Xiuxiu's face was a little complicated, but more of a reassurance.

After eating breakfast, Min Xiuxiu insisted on sending Zhan Zhao to the ferry, but she couldn't resist, so Zhan Zhao led the horse and Min Xiuxiu walked side by side.Seeing Zhan Zhao's horse, Bai Yutang's eyes lit up.

This is a black horse, tall and straight, with a beautiful luster in its mane, and every step it takes is extremely dignified.What a horse.Bai Yutang looked at the horse appreciatively, and planned to get closer.

As soon as Bai Yutang planned this, Zhan Zhao's horse looked in his direction.The horse's eyes were dark, staring in his direction all the time, Bai Yutang even felt that the horse sensed him.

Is it true?Bai Yutang stretched out his hand tentatively, but the horse snorted and actually moved towards him.Bai Yutang quickly withdrew his hand, and the horse still tilted its head, as if it didn't understand why this man had to hold back.

Zhan Zhao also felt the tightening of the reins in his hand, and asked strangely, "Qian Ru, what's wrong with you?" Zhan Zhao leaned over to touch Qian Ru's head, and looked in the direction Qian Ru was looking at. No.

"Is there anything there?" Zhan Zhao asked.Feeling that something was wrong, Bai Yutang quickly waved his hand at Qianru, signaling it not to say anything. He probably could only do so much with a horse.

Qian Ru tilted her head, her big eyes were full of puzzlement, but in the end it didn't move towards Bai Yutang, but rubbed against Zhan Zhao's hand.

"I just like to mess around." Zhan Zhao lightly scolded Qian Ru, then turned around and continued talking to Min Xiuxiu.Bai Yutang looked at Qian Ru in amazement, obviously he couldn't even see himself, but he didn't expect Qian Ru to notice it.It was nothing short of a surprise.

At the end, Min Soo-soo gave Zhan Zhao a hug, "Come back here if you're tired, this will always be your home." In one sentence, Zhan Zhao's eyes became moist.

Zhan Zhao hugged Min Soo-soo back, "Thank you sister-in-law."

Seeing this scene, Bai Yutang smiled, there are so many people around Zhan Zhao accompanying him, he is not alone.Bai Yutang was happy for Zhan Zhao.

After bidding farewell to Min Soo-soo, Zhan Zhao boarded the boat.Bai Yutang was curiously thinking about what Changzhou would be like.Bai Yutang was looking forward to this journey.

But the facts have proved that in this world, Juneday is not like Babyface, and Bai Yutang's mood is also flipping through the book, changing as soon as he says it.In fact, he can't be blamed for this. He is used to the traffic at the high speed, and now he is asked to return to such a primitive mode of transportation. Such a slow speed is really driving him crazy.

Zhan Zhao was riding a horse, while Bai Yutang followed Zhan Zhao in an unknown way.From Xingkong Island to Changzhou, it should take about five days to ride a horse. Bai Yutang heard this before when Zhan Zhao and Qian Ru talked.

It was already the third day since they set off, and Bai Yutang was almost driven crazy by the boring journey.In the past three days, they were on their way besides going on their way, Bai Yutang was almost worn down to the point where he lost the energy to speak, and could only live by teasing Qianru all day long, at least Qianru could see him.

Thinking of this, Bai Yutang glanced at Zhan Zhao who was engrossed in his journey. He was exhausted after driving for three days in an inexplicable way, but Zhan Zhao was on his horse for three whole days.

How on earth did he do it?Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao in admiration, and finally gritted his teeth and continued to follow Zhan Zhao. The only thought in his heart was to hope that Changzhou would be a good place, otherwise, what was the purpose of his long journey.

When he actually arrived at Zhan Zhao's house, Bai Yutang let out a sigh. Zhan Zhao was actually the young master of a wealthy family.Even though his family is rich, he has become a hero.

This is the difference between people's choices.

Zhan Zhao has not returned to his hometown for a long time. When he returned home, his parents were not there, and Zhan Zhao was dragged by the housekeeper to ask him about his health. The scene was quite spectacular.

Bai Yutang stood aside and looked at the rare smile on Zhan Zhao's face, and patted Qian Ru on the head, "Fortunately, there are so many people around him, right?"

Qianru flicked her tail, snorted, and just ate grass, not sure if she agreed with his words.
