[Rat cat] Mirror City

What Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang didn't expect was that a peaceful sleep is really very difficult.Originally, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang should be able to sleep deeply, but tonight, even in their sleep, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang felt uneasy.

Especially Zhan Zhao, who was sleepy at first, but suddenly felt a chill.When Zhan Zhao opened his eyes, Bai Yutang tightened his hand on his waist, and Zhan Zhao saw Bai Yutang's bright eyes.

Just as Zhan Zhao wanted to ask what was going on, Bai Yutang suddenly covered his mouth and hissed at him.Zhan Zhao immediately closed his eyes knowingly, focusing all his attention on his ears.

Almost at the same time as they closed their eyes, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang heard the sound of the door opening.A soft footstep sounded in the room, especially for Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang.

Zhan Zhao could only rely on the sound to try to figure out what happened.The sound of the footsteps was very light, not only to the extent that the visitor could deliberately lighten it, but also very dense, as if the person needed to lift his feet frequently.

The footsteps passed by their bed, Zhan Zhao boldly opened his eyes.Bai Yutang also opened his eyes at the same time, and nodded to Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao poked his head slightly out of Bai Yutang's arms, glanced over Bai Yutang's shoulder towards the bed, but didn't see anyone.

When Bai Yutang heard something behind him, he retracted the hand on Zhan Zhao's waist again.Zhan Zhao immediately returned to his original position and closed his eyes tightly.

Just as Bai Yutang expected, as soon as Zhan Zhao closed his eyes, the frequent footsteps sounded again and stopped behind Bai Yutang.

What is that person trying to do?Zhan Zhao's hand under the quilt involuntarily grabbed Bai Yutang's arm, and Bai Yutang's entire back was opened to him, if he wanted to do something to Bai Yutang...

For a moment, Zhan Zhao really couldn't restrain himself, but Bai Yutang still clasped Zhan Zhao's hand, and tapped Zhan Zhao's wrist with his fingers to reassure him.

Zhan Zhao endured uneasily, only to hear a sigh.Not only Zhan Zhao, but even Bai Yutang was shocked.This sigh was so childish yet familiar.

Why, Ding Yao appeared here?No wonder, the footsteps were so frequent and short that a child would break into their room at night.

Both Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao held their breath, while Ding Yao just stayed by their bed for a while before running out.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang immediately turned over and sat up, grabbed the coats that were put aside and put them on.

"Cat, the box is gone." Bai Yutang saw the wooden box on the table disappear at a glance, "Ding Yao took it away." Looking at each other, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang immediately chased it out.

Obviously Ding Yao is such a small one, but they couldn't find Ding Yao.Chasing back to the previous yard again, Zhan Zhao somehow remembered the backyard of the Ding family.

"Yutang, it might be in the backyard."

With the previous experience, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both brought small flashlights with them this time.With the light, the road in the backyard becomes much easier to walk.Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang ran one after the other on the path, and actually saw Ding Yao.

I saw Ding Yao tightly holding the box containing the white jade in his small hands, and he was able to run quickly on the path even though there was no light.

"Ding Yao, stop!" Zhan Zhao still remembered the section of the road here, not to mention that he was worried that Ding Yao was running on such an uneven path that even he and Bai Yutang would be careful about, and Zhan Zhao clearly remembered being on this path. The front is a wall.

This road leads to the end of Ding's house, and there is only one wall.But Ding Yao still ran forward in silence.

Hearing Zhan Zhao's voice, Ding Yao, who ran away quickly, suddenly turned his head, his gaze made both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang feel discordant and familiar, it was not Ding Yao's gaze.

Although Ding Yao wants to escape from the sight of Show and Bai Yutang, there is only one way, and Ding Yao is just a child, so the distance between them is inevitably getting closer.

In the end, Ding Yao was picked up by Bai Yutang.In Bai Yutang's arms, Ding Yao struggled holding the wooden box.Bai Yutang didn't try to snatch the wooden box, but just looked at Ding Yao, "Who are you?"

Ding Yao just watched Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao approaching without speaking. Suddenly, Ding Yao smiled and fell into Bai Yutang's arms, like a doll whose power supply was cut off.

"Is he okay?" Although he cared why Ding Yao broke in and stole the wooden box, now Zhan Zhao is more concerned about Ding Yao's situation.

Bai Yutang was also taken aback by Ding Yao's sudden change, and quickly put his hand on Ding Yao's neck.Fortunately, breathing.Bai Yutang breathed a sigh of relief, and said in relief, "I just fell asleep."

"It seems that there is indeed something here." Bai Yutang immediately thought of Zhan Zhao's previous topic about what was wrong here.Zhan Zhao nodded solemnly, staring worriedly at the end not far away.

It seems that his idea is not wrong, Ding Yao's abnormality must have something to do with Ding's backyard.Just what the hell...

The more Zhan Zhao thought about it, the more entangled he became.At this moment, Bai Yutang suddenly raised his hand and touched Zhan Zhao's head.Zhan Zhao looked up at him in confusion.

Bai Yutang held Ding Yao tighter with one hand, and gently patted Zhan Zhao's head with the other, "Go back first, it's inconvenient to take the children to see."

Zhan Zhao also agreed with Bai Yutang, and the two of them took Ding Yao back to the house.As soon as they returned to the living room, the three members of the Ding family had already been waiting there.

Although Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang didn't make much noise, everyone's mood wasn't particularly good this afternoon, and a little trouble could wake them up.

Ding Zhaolan and Ding Zhaohui took Ding Yao distressedly, they thought Ding Yao was sleepwalking again.After thanking Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, they carried Ding Yao back to the room.

How clever Ding Yuehua was, she had already seen the wooden box that Zhan Zhao hid behind her back.The strangeness of this piece of jade was discussed as early as in the afternoon, and now that Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang brought Ding Yao back like this, how could she not see the reason behind it.

"Xiaoyao ran to your room to steal that piece of jade?" Ding Yuehua's expression was not good.

"That's not him." Bai Yutang told Ding Yuehua with certainty, and opened the wooden box. Zhan Zhao leaned over to take a look, and heaved a sigh of relief, the white jade inside was still safely in place.

Despite the relief from Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao, this night is destined to be a sleepless night.Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang endured the doubts in their hearts, and finally the two couldn't hold on anymore and returned to the bed in a daze.

Zhan Zhao woke up in Bai Yutang's arms in the morning.Before he opened his eyes, Zhan Zhao felt a faint fragrance in his nose.

I was too tired to notice last night, but now, the sunlight that leaked into the room through the thin window screen warmed the whole room, and the original ethereal fragrance seemed to evaporate.

Zhan Zhao looked around in bewilderment, and then sniffed vigorously, only then was he sure that the scent was not his illusion.But this is also strange, how could there be such an orchid fragrance in his and Bai Yutang's room?

Zhan Zhao moved in Bai Yutang's arms blankly, he always felt that somewhere in this room was the source of the fragrance.But he couldn't find it anywhere.

Bai Yutang was sleeping comfortably at this time, and Zhan Zhao's subtle movements made him feel disturbed.Bai Yutang couldn't help tightening his arms, hugging Zhan Zhao even tighter.

Unexpectedly, he was pulled into Bai Yutang's arms, afraid of waking Bai Yutang up, Zhan Zhao put his hand between them.At this moment, the orchid fragrance, which was a little stronger than before, burst into his nostrils.

Zhan Zhao sniffed in disbelief, when did Bai Yutang smell of orchids?Zhan Zhao took another deep breath in disbelief, and the aroma became evident again.

There really are?Zhan Zhao's misty eyes widened, as if he couldn't wake up from the shock.Zhan Zhao felt that it must be an illusion caused by his poor sleep quality recently.

Just deceiving himself like this, Zhan Zhao leaned directly towards Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang was awakened by the restless shaking in his arms, without opening his eyes, Bai Yutang accurately reached out and grabbed the wobbly head, or else he always felt that there was a cat arch into his arms.

"Cat, my chest isn't wide enough for you to drill into it..." Despite saying this, Bai Yutang's hand moved down to hug it more comfortably.

Zhan Zhao was already fully awake, rolled his eyes, and shook his head vigorously to shake off the hand on his head, "What are you drilling...don't sleep."

Zhan Zhao went up to pinch Bai Yutang's face with both hands, and quickly helped Bai Yutang drive away his drowsiness.Bai Yutang regained consciousness all of a sudden, and quickly grabbed Zhan Zhao's troublesome fingers, "What's wrong?"

While speaking, Bai Yutang also smelled that quiet fragrance, "Cat, where is the fragrance coming from?" After a careful sniff, it seemed to be emanating from Zhan Zhao's body.

Only then did Zhan Zhao sit up, "Why do you think I'm crawling around in your arms in broad daylight?"

Please give me a hug... Bai Yutang really wanted to say that, but reason told him that if he said this answer, Zhan Zhao would definitely throw him to the ground.

But after Bai Yutang ruled out this answer, the rest of the answers suddenly popped up.In the end, Bai Yutang almost knocked Zhan Zhao to the ground.

Bai Yutang quickly stretched out his hand to pull Zhan Zhao back, lowered his head and asked, "Is it from me?"

After Zhan Zhao nodded, Bai Yutang's head grew bigger. Where did the fragrance of orchids come from?It's just that the whole room is full of this kind of smell, and they don't understand the source.

Fortunately, although the smell came out of nowhere, it was not bad for them, except that the room smelled a little better.For this kind of thing, the two of them couldn't think of it here, so Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang readily gave up unnecessary thinking.

Thinking of going to see Ding Yao's situation first, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang went to Ding Yao's room first, and just after opening the door of Ding Yao's room, they also smelled the orchid fragrance from before.

But when they saw Ding Yao asleep and the three members of the Ding family who stayed by the bed and never left, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang still couldn't bear to interrupt their rare peace.

"Let's go to the backyard first?" Zhan Zhao said softly to Bai Yutang, and the two walked side by side towards the Ding family's inaccessible backyard.

Originally, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao had planned to check the situation in the Ding family's backyard, but something happened that disrupted their plans.

They didn't go deep into Ding's house before.

Walk on this road again during the day, the deeper you go, the more uneven the road becomes.After Zhan Zhao stepped on the air a few times unfortunately, Bai Yutang couldn't help but pull Zhan Zhao to his side and walked side by side.

The deeper you go, the more Zhan Zhao feels the time-staggered feeling here.The Ding family has lived in this place for many years. With an oversized home and dwindling family members, the Ding family is destined to have a large piece of land left in loneliness.

The deeper you go, the less the intimacy of people, but full of natural tranquility, and even dignified.The greenery overlaps, and the luxuriant green leaves and grasses interact with each other, giving Zhan Zhao a heavy feeling.

Zhan Zhao avoided a pit on the ground again, and sighed, "Xiaoyao really had night vision when he was possessed...it's no wonder he can run so fast."

"Maybe he is very familiar with this road." Compared to Zhan Zhao's exaggerated guess, Bai Yutang's guess is really the answer that most resembles the correct answer.

The two detoured along the path, and walked into a small bamboo forest along the path.Zhan Zhao couldn't remember how many landscapes he had seen along the way, "Yutang, do you want to bet what we will see when we get out of this bamboo forest? I bet on the pool."

What's the point of this bet?While thinking this way, Bai Yutang responded, "It should be the end."

"The end?" Zhan Zhao's eyes widened. For this answer, he really hoped that Bai Yutang's guess would be right, but also hope that Bai Yutang would guess wrong.

With such conflicts in their hearts, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang walked for a while, and finally got out of the bamboo forest.Walking out of the bamboo forest, what Zhan Zhao saw was not the small pool that Zhan Zhao expected, but a large rockery.

Such a sudden change made Zhan Zhao dumbfounded, it turned out to be a fake mountain?And there is no road behind the rockery.It was really the end of what Bai Yutang said.

"How do you know it's the end?" Zhan Zhao asked in surprise, they had walked for an unknown how long, and Bai Yutang actually knew the end here.

Bai Yutang looked at the sky, although he was very happy to be able to enjoy Zhan Zhao's adoring gaze, but Zhan Zhao's gaze was so sincere that he felt embarrassed.

Reaching out to hold Zhan Zhao to prevent him from jumping up, Bai Yutang replied helplessly, "I just hope it's the end, I'm tired from walking."

It turned out to be just a wild guess... and he guessed it right.Zhan Zhao didn't know whether he should balance himself, "Why is it a rockery... Such a landscape design is not harmonious at all."

In the eyes of Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, the uncoordinated landscape design is unusual, and being unusual means that there must be something wrong here.

Zhan Zhao used his hands and feet to climb up the rockery, but Bai Yutang couldn't stop him no matter what.Instead of climbing up the rockery with Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang felt that he might as well stay below to prevent Zhan Zhao from stepping on the ground.

Zhan Zhao's dark history is too much, Bai Yutang really can't let go of it.Standing under the rockery and staring at Zhan Zhao's every move, every step Zhan Zhao took, Bai Yutang would really sweat.

But when climbing up the rockery, Zhan Zhao's hands and feet are very neat.In twos and threes, I climbed to the top of the rockery.Stepping on the rockery with both feet, Zhan Zhao supported the rockery with his hands and looked ahead.

"Cat, what did you see?" Seeing that Zhan Zhao hadn't moved for a long time, Bai Yutang was a little curious about the situation behind the rockery.

"No." Zhan Zhao muttered, then turned his head and said with difficulty, "Behind the rockery is a high wall, Ding's house was built against the mountain, and behind the wall is the foot of the mountain."

Is there anything behind the rockery?This is strange.Bai Yutang looked around, but didn't notice that Zhan Zhao jumped down while he was thinking.

Zhan Zhao wiped off the dust on his hands and body, and asked, "There's nothing on it. What are you looking for?"

Bai Yutang bent down and brushed away the overgrown weeds on the ground, and replied, "Cat, don't our room and Ding Yao's room have the scent of orchids?"

"Yeah, it smells pretty good." Recalling the scent, Zhan Zhao touched his nose, and he still liked the scent.

"At first I thought we accidentally got it on this road when we were chasing Ding Yao last night." Bai Yutang let go of his hand and gave up searching among the piles of weeds, "But the one we walked over just now Along the way, I didn’t even see a single orchid.”

After Bai Yutang's reminder, Zhan Zhao remembered that they really didn't see a single orchid on the way they just walked.

Speaking of this, Zhan Zhao sniffled again, leaning into Bai Yutang's arms again.Bai Yutang stood still, letting Zhan Zhao smell it happily, "What did you smell?"

"This scent of flowers comes from your arms." Zhan Zhao was very sure, now standing outside, without the interference of the scent of orchids all over the room, Zhan Zhao could finally distinguish the source of the scent of flowers.

As soon as Zhan Zhao finished speaking, Bai Yutang subconsciously raised his eyebrows to deny Zhan Zhao's statement, but the conviction in Zhan Zhao's eyes made him dismiss his words.

Bai Yutang dubiously picked up the clothes on his chest and smelled them, then pulled Zhan Zhao to smell them, and then muttered for a long time, "I thought it was your smell. So it's mine."

What is there to deny about this fact?Zhan Zhao rolled his eyes, then patted his head, "I remembered. Didn't you hug Xiaoyao last night?"

Could it be that the fragrance came from Ding Yao's body?In the end, this matter still circled back to Ding Yao.
