Trying to keep clean every day

Hua Wuyu shrugged, very domineering: "Your game rules don't say you can't use zhenqi. Let me ask the last question."

He sighed silently: "Okay then, to be honest, you can ask."

Hua Wuyu seemed to have a problem early in the morning, but he couldn't get out of his mouth, that's all.

"I owe it first too, and wait until next time."

"You must answer me then."

Really don't ask now?Shen An was a little confused.

Duan Xiao is still not satisfied, his eyes seem to say, thinking about next time, you'd better stay away from Shen An forever.

After the game ended and bid farewell to Hua Wuyu, Shen An and Duan Xiao returned to their courtyard in the outskirts of the city.

***

"Let's go to Xiling."

"I will definitely find the Delicate Fruit without Harm."

Duan Xiao was taking a shower, Shen An didn't know when he came in.Amidst the dense mist, Shen Huan's expression was particularly resolute.

Duan Xiao didn't speak, he leaned his head up against the edge of the barrel, his eyes were closed.

Shen Shen walked over, the steaming hot air hit his face, a little dry and hot.

He thought Duan Xiao was asleep.

He approached Duan Xiao lightly, only to feel that this young man has changed a little since the first time he met him. In front of him, he couldn't help but want to reach out and touch his beautiful Adam's apple and deep neck.

But Shen An's outstretched hand landed on the scabbed wound on his chest, like a feather left by a titmouse, except for the ripples on the water, no one would know that it had come.

Duan Xiao remained silent, closed his eyes and looked up there, his small movements were not noticed, Shen An was greatly encouraged.

His fingertips climbed to Duan Xiao's chin, and landed on the almost bloodless lips, warm and soft.He caressed Duan Xiao's eyebrows, as if touching the most fragile thing in the world.

The dense water vapor invaded every pore of Shen An, just standing here, Shen An almost drowned in the heat of these steams.

His sigh was very light: "I want you to live."

But why is it so difficult.

Shen Mu grasped the edge of the bathtub with five fingers, feeling so powerless for the first time, and the sense of depression overwhelmed him.

Shen Huan was still in a trance, the boy opened his eyes, there was a faint gleam in his pupils, silent but warm.

The hands that had been wet clasped the silent wrists, and before they had time to exclaim, the huge waves splashed from the bathtub submerged the two of them.

The young man covered Shen's mouth and nose from behind with one hand, Shen's neck was raised, and his back hit a solid chest.

The sudden fall, the ensuing choking of water, and the indescribable tension quickly consumed the remaining oxygen in the silent chest, but before he could take another breath, Duan Xiao didn't give him another chance.

Before dying, it is better to let Duan Xiao control all the powerlessness, without leaving any chance to breathe.

Duan Xiao pressed against his ear: "I will try my best to survive."

"Believe me."

For you, I began to cherish this broken and dirty body, hoping that it would also raise a soul worthy of love.

His back was tightly pressed against Duan Xiao, as if both of them felt their heartbeats, so real.His respiratory system screamed violently, everything was on the verge of collapse, his red eye sockets condensed with physiological mist, and even the proper whimpers were blocked in his mouth, but his brain seemed to collapse, giving up Give orders for any struggles.

What Duan Xiao gave him was exactly what he wanted, and he enjoyed the loss of control at the moment, better than the fear brought about by that indescribable sense of powerlessness.

"Well, let's go to Xiling."

"If you can get up tomorrow."

Shen An grasped the edge of the bamboo barrel with both hands, and Duan Xiao lightly kissed the side of his neck.

They exchange all the heat like there's no tomorrow.Indulging until the end, only trembling remained in Shen Huan, Duan Xiao still refused to let him go.

Then, the next day, Shen Huan's voice was hoarse and his footsteps were sloppy, while Duan Xiao had a high fever.

If not all traces on Shen An's body could be used as evidence, those who didn't know would have thought that Shen An had done something terrible to Duan Xiao.

In the next few days, Shen An was very well-behaved, and during the days when Duan Xiao was recuperating, they lived very peacefully and had a lively atmosphere.After all, life can't be bitter and bitter every day, and relationships don't have to be exhausting every moment.

Shen An has no other extravagant wishes, he wants to make up for what Duan Xiao missed, the happiness of ordinary people.

Shen An became more diligent. In terms of cultivation, he used to be mediocre, but now he is as eager for success as Duan Xiao.

He desperately needs to be strong.

Shen An was cultivating and practicing sword in the yard, while Duan Xiao quietly leaned on the rocking chair and watched him, the morning light and dusk fell on Shen An alternately, and the years became gentler.

Shen An was concentrating on his swordsmanship, but he hadn't noticed that on Duan Xiao's side, a scrawny little thing with no hair at all sneaked into the yard and rubbed Duan Xiao's ankle.

Duan Xiao picked up the little thing, and the little thing let out a cry of "Aww", and the silent attention was attracted.

He put down his sword and came over to see what Duan Xiao could gain.

This little thing looks quite energetic.

Shen Mu tilted his head, blinked his eyes, and was a little puzzled: "Is it a puppy? It's black, why has no hair."

Duan Xiao lifted the little thing higher, and showed Shen Han the pinch of white fluff on its belly: there is still a little bit here.

It was too high, too high, the little thing was a little scared, and kept yelling "Aww~ow~".

Shen Han overturned his guess: "Puppy Gou won't bark like that, it barks like a wolf."

Shen An touched its bare, hairless, flesh-pink ears again: "But there is no wolf with ears like this."

"So, what kind of animal is it?"

Shen Shen leaned closer, met the eyes of the little thing, and blinked at each other.Even though the little guy was carried away, he made an extremely proud gesture. It raised its front paws and rested them on Shen Huan's shoulders, like Jianghu brothers calling each other brothers.

But the tip of its nose is black, just like Corgi's.

Shen silently touched its nose, maybe it was a little itchy, it quickly licked the tip of its own nose, the red tongue did not look like a dog hook anymore.Immediately afterwards, it winked at Shen An again.

This is too obedient, Shen An's heart is full of joy, his eyes are bright.

After holding it for a while, Duan Xiao put down the little thing. It was rare to see Shen An so happy, and joked: "I think you are more enthusiastic about it than me."

Shen An was in high spirits, thinking "how can I have it".

He happily rubbed the top of the little thing's bald head, and to show his sincerity, he held Duan Xiao's face and kissed "baji": "I also have a high enthusiasm for you."

"But I'm afraid you won't be able to endure the torment, so I have to bear it. After all, I'm not the one who lies in bed with a fever and is weak."

Duan Xiao:......

It's a bit embarrassing, it's okay, I will get it back one day.

Duan Xiao touched the little guy's back, and solved the mystery for Shen Han:

"This is Snow Fox."

Shen Huan was a little puzzled. After reading the "Feng Feng Zhi" here, he had heard of creatures like snow foxes to some extent.Looking at this black and ugly little thing in front of him, no, it doesn't look like it no matter what.

It is rumored that the snow fox is a basically extinct creature, very spiritual, and very uncommon.They are usually very large, with curved eyebrows and eyes, and they are absolutely beautiful in the big cat family.Their whole body is snow-white and soft fluff, soft and shiny, just like the endless silver snowfield in Xiling.

Shen Han opened his eyes again and looked down: "How could it be?"

Duan Xiao explained: "Because now is its moulting period."

Oh, so Shen An understands.

"Haha, it has no hair."

It was a little funny, Shen Lu knelt down and poked its hairless ears again.

The little fox suddenly raised his head and rubbed the back of Shen's hand, as if he knew that Shen was laughing at it, he gave Shen's a very dissatisfied look.

Duan Xiao found out that Shen An really likes small animals, and they like them very much.

Duan Xiao laughed: "We are very lucky to meet a snow fox in the moulting period."

"Maybe when you are unlucky to a certain extent, you will always be lucky."

Duan Xiao explained to Shen Shen that the snow fox is the most arrogant creature, more difficult to tame than the snow wolf, and also the supreme of the snow region, even more aggressive than the snow wolf, because they are intelligent.But the snow fox in the moulting period is completely different from the fox in its heyday, with completely different personalities.

Snow foxes in the moulting period are not aggressive, they will be very clingy, and they will be very docile and accept people as their masters.And when the moulting is over, he will continue to follow his master, be steadfast and unswerving throughout his life.

Duan Xiao said slowly, "Also, only the leader's blood can have pink ears."

Duan Xiao suddenly remembered the tattered rose flower that Hua Wuyu gave to Shen An. He was a little jealous and couldn't be compared: "How about I give this little fox a name and give it to you as a mount?"

Shen Han was shocked: "The little fox is so cute that you want to ride it."

Duan Xiaoyouyou: "Do you know how big it will grow after the moulting is over?"

Shen Shen hugged it away: "Then you can't ride it."

Duan Xiao has a casual expression, but in his heart is the bitterness of being inferior to a fox.It's too bad, it can fall out of favor anytime, anywhere.

***

After a while, basically every day is a re-enactment of yesterday.

Shen An was still cultivating and practicing sword in the yard, while Shen An sat on the rocking chair in the house and watched him practice sword, pointing out the subtle flaws in his moves.The only difference is that Duan Xiao has an extra snow fox in his arms that is gradually growing hair.

The fluff of the snow fox begins to grow and spread outward from the point on the belly.Its body, which gradually grows full of silver-white fluff, seems to be the only evidence of the passage of time.

"Is it to keep warm? I think the body needs to moult first."

silent its back,

Duan Xiao frowned and looked at its bare limbs: "The next step is to retreat."

Now the little guy only has hair growing on his torso, and he looks very weird, like a little black dog hooked into a huge lump of cotton candy.

Xuehu ran to the side to play, Shen An wanted to chase, but Duan Xiao grabbed him from behind: "I remembered something."

Shen Shen: "What?"

"I still owe you four senior brothers, have you forgotten?"

"Play with me for a while too, brother?"

suddenly--

"Ahem, it's not good in front of outsiders."

Hua Wuyu was elusive, broke into their yard, and suddenly appeared in front of them.

The interest was interrupted, and Duan smoked arrogantly, looking like he was about to hit someone at any time: "How do you know this place?"

Hua Wuyu spread his hands: "I follow you, is this hard to understand?"

They fought again, silent and helpless: two perverts.

Hua Wuyu became more and more out of tune, he went around to Shen An again: "Beauty Shen, do you like it?"

He brought another flower to Shen An, a white rose.

Duan Xiao snatched the flowers away again, he couldn't bear it any longer: "If you send flowers, you will send flowers, and every time you send white ones, what do you mean?"

"Last time it was a rose, this is a rose, what's next time?"

Hua Wuyu answered truthfully: "Gardenias will soon be in their best bloom, of course they are gardenias."

He took back the flower in Duan Xiao's hand: "White roses are very rare, be careful, don't let me break them."

Hua Wuyu split a bamboo pole on the spot, made a bamboo vase, put the white flower in it, and placed it in front of Shen Xuan.

Duan Xiao's face was gloomy, and he looked at Hua Wuyu: "In front of my face, I think you should be more careful when you give me Taoist flowers."

Hua Wuyu: "What about the Taoist couple? Even as a friend, I can't give you flowers for Shen Meiren's birthday?"

Duan Xiao looked at Shen An: "When is your birthday?"

"I think it was two months later."

It's an affirmation.

Shen nodded silently: "Yes."

I thought: And I didn't tell Hua Wuyu about my birthday, I only told you.

Hua Wuyu didn't seem embarrassed at all, and said heartily, "Two months, that's getting close, so can't we give gifts in advance?"

"Duan Xiao, as a silent Taoist companion, you didn't prepare a gift, you are not qualified."

? ?

outrageous.

There is bound to be a fight here.

But Shen An was used to these two fighting, he chose to ignore it, and he wanted to continue stroking his snow fox.Xuehu is so easy to masturbate, Shen Huan screamed in his heart, only Xuehu was in his eyes.

The sun was warm at noon, behind the screen in the dormitory, Shen silently slept soundly on the couch with the snow fox in his arms.

Duan Xiao's eyes flickered narrowly, he was about to drive away the guests: "Brother Hua, Shen An rested, you came at a bad time."

Subtext: Hurry up and go, it will be you wherever you go.

Duan Xiao was about to die of anger, facing a rival in love, he had no experience, so he felt aggrieved.

Hua Wuyu put away his hippie smile, and became serious: "It's just right to sleep."

"Duan Xiao, I'm here to look for you. I have something to tell you. Although it may not be appropriate to say it, but after thinking about it, if I don't say it, you will never know."

Duan Xiao sat down with an impatient face, but still made two cups of tea: "Speak quickly."

"I envy you very much, and I also like Shen Shen, but he only cares about you."

"Although I don't want to admit it, Shen An cares about you more than you think."

Duan Xiao was silent.

Hua Wuyu will never forget that Shen An was plotted against by someone that day, but she still remembers the secret of this incident all the time.That tense look was too serious, that kind of hard work, even the best pretender couldn't imitate it.

He told Duan Xiao the entire episode, but Duan Xiao remained silent.

What can he say, he knows best about his own physical condition.He couldn't say what he had said in his life, he couldn't do it, and he couldn't let it go.

Duan Xiao only felt that countless dense thorns pierced his heart at the same time, he was like that thorn that blocked the way of others, his whole body was full of thorns.But now, someone stood in front of him, pulled out the thorns on his body one by one, and pierced his body one by one. He was in great pain, but he was powerless.

After speaking, the two of them were silent for a long time.

"I'll treat him well."

After saying this, the tea was already cold.

Waking up from a silent nap, he heard the sound of swords clashing in the yard.

A red figure and a white figure come and go, their whirlwind moves are dazzling.

what happened?Did the quarrel change into a fight?

There was still a white rose brought by Hua Wuyu on the table, and he called out in a low voice, "What do you want to eat?"

No one answered there, but a new dispute arose: "He asked me!"

Shen Shen: ...I don't need to ask.

Hua Wuyu had been planning to avoid it for a while, and he was already very clear about his silent thoughts. Although he said he wanted to fight for it, Duan Xiao was still alive and kicking, so it probably had nothing to do with him.

There will be no gardenias next time, so he said it.

If it was still possible to send it, he wouldn't say it, otherwise there would be no surprises.When Duan Xiao asked him, he said that it was because he probably knew that he was the next talent, so he really had no position to send flowers.

He really likes white flowers, which are the most innocent color. There is a flower room in the secret room of Xuanji Pavilion, which collects countless kinds of white flowers and makes them into dried flowers.

Whatever he likes, he will give to Shen An, a very simple gift.If there is a chance, he would like to take Shen An to that secret room to have a look.

Hua Wuyu really wanted to fight Duan Xiao, and Duan Xiao probably wanted to too.

So they had a great fight.

Sometimes Duan Xiao would inexplicably feel that Hua Wuyu was in the same sympathy with him. Although he had never heard most of Hua Wuyu's stories, and he would not tell Hua Wuyu about his own affairs, he was sure that Hua Wuyu could understand him. feelings.

If it wasn't for falling in love with the same person, Duan Xiao felt that he and Hua Wuyu would be very good friends.

There is always a winner in a fight, but they fought for a long time without a winner.

Shen silently stopped them, because it was time to eat.

After eating, Hua Wuyu handed Shen An a few packs of herbal medicine: "This is to dispel the cold, you can fry it for him, it will save you from suffering."

"It's a long way to go to Xiling, if you need a place, remember to find me."

Hua Wuyu was about to leave, but it happened that there was nothing to eat in the place where they lived, and they needed to go shopping, so they went out together.

People came and went on the street, but Hua Wuyu didn't say goodbye.

Always see you again.

After Hua Wuyu left, Shen An slammed Duan Xiao's shoulder with his shoulder: "What did he talk to you about?"

"Why do you feel that you suddenly become very familiar?"

Duan Xiao pulled Shen An to the side and stood aside, avoiding the collision of pedestrians: "He said he just gave up pestering you temporarily."

Shen An didn't bother with this question anymore, and the long queue not far ahead came into his sight.

And now there are still people rushing past, rampaging, almost bumping into Shen An just now.

Shen An and Duan Xiao walked forward, and saw a few people who looked like Taoists serving porridge. Behind them stood a dozen or so half-person-high wooden barrels, filled with fresh porridge.

With a kind face and kind eyes, the Taoist priest filled a bowl full for the old lady who came to beg for porridge, and yelled: "Don't worry, everyone, take your time, and you will have enough."

The scrawny child served the porridge and did not forget to thank him politely.

Seeing Shen An and Duan Xiao looking at them, but not queuing up, a little Taoist priest walked towards them: "Do you two brothers want porridge? If you want porridge, you need to line up."

Shen An shook his head: "We don't drink porridge."

The little Taoist explained: "You guys are from other places. There was a disaster in Yongzhou City some time ago, and the crops growing in the fields were so large that you couldn't eat them. If you ate them, you would get sick. Every household had no harvest."

"Fortunately, with the assistance of an expert, the government found out the problem with the rice seedlings."

"But now the time for farming has been missed, so this year's famine is unavoidable."

"We belong to Lingyun Temple. We have always been the king's salary. Our Taoist temple is just like the emperor's back garden."

This little Taoist priest talked a lot, but Shen Han needed to know the news, so he kept encouraging him to continue: "Our temple master is the brother of the emperor's father, you know, he is also the emperor's uncle."

Duan Xiao's expression was calm, Shen An heard these things for the first time, but Duan Xiao seemed to know it already.

And Shen An could sense that Duan Xiao was very unwilling to know any news about His Majesty.
