a man who appears once a year

Jingyang glanced at Ruan Qiuping with a strange expression: "...Ruan Qiuping, your coat is on the wrong side."

Ruan Qiuping: "..."

Ruan Qiuping scolded Yu Huan at least a hundred and eight times in his heart before he slowly said: "...I did it on purpose, now it's fashionable to wear coats backwards."

After the bracelet on his hand was taken off, Ruan Qiuping hurriedly walked behind the tree beside him.

"Where are you going?" Jingyang unexpectedly followed.

Just when Ruan Qiuping was thinking about how to send Jingyang away, Chen Hai suddenly came over and entangled Jingyang.

Ruan Qiuping breathed a sigh of relief, hid behind a tree and used spells to clean up the traces left by Yu Huan on his body, and changed his clothes along the way.

When Ruan Qiuping came out from behind the tree, although he was still exhausted inside, at least he looked refreshed on the outside.

The moment he lowered his head to straighten his sleeves, he suddenly saw the ring on his right ring finger.

Ruan Qiuping turned the ring slightly, hesitated for a moment, but did not take it off.

"Qiuping, why do you look so bad today?" Ruan Shengfeng frowned, took out a spiritual power fruit and threw it to him, "Hurry up and eat a spiritual power fruit to replenish your energy."

Ruan Qiuping took the Lingli Fruit and said with a smile, "Okay, thank you Dad."

Xia Fushui was sitting at the side knitting a sweater for Ruan Dongdong. She glanced at Ruan Qiuping, but the movements of her hands stopped: "Why do you have a ring on your hand?"

Ruan Qiuping glanced at the ring in his hand and said, "It's nothing, I just wear it for fun."

Xia Fushui lowered her head and continued knitting the sweater, and said in a calm tone, "You are engaged to be married now, you can't wear the rings indiscriminately, take them off."

Ruan Qiuping thought to himself, he didn't just wear a ring indiscriminately, he also got married indiscriminately.

But after thinking about it, he still lowered his head and obediently said yes, took off the ring, and put it in the Qiankun bag.

"Dad, Mom, I'm going to practice. I may be back later today. You don't have to wait for me."

"Okay, okay! Hurry up, go, practice hard, according to my son's current progress, he is not far from becoming a god!" Ruan Shengfeng said cheerfully.

Ruan Qiuping rolled his eyes with a smile: "I accept your good words."

When Ruan Qiuping walked out of the yard, he immediately saw Ruan Dongdong squatting under the big tree at the door picking up fallen leaves.

Ruan Qiuping laughed and shouted: "Boom!"

Ruan Dongdong turned around suddenly, and when she saw Ruan Qiuping, she immediately laughed happily, hugged the pile of fallen leaves in her arms, and ran over happily.

Ruan Dongdong ran up to him, lowered his head and carefully picked out the most beautiful red leaf from his bosom, handed it to Ruan Qiuping, and said childishly, "Brother! Here it is for you!"

Ruan Qiuping's heart almost melted, and he happily took the red leaf, and then handed the spiritual fruit that Ruan Shengfeng gave him just now to Ruan Dongdong: "Dongdong, eat the fruit."

Ruan Dongdong stretched out his hand and was about to grab it, but Ruan Qiuping's heart tightened, and he took a few steps back, using magic to hand the Lingli fruit to Ruan Dongdong.

Seeing Ruan Dongdong happily gnawing on the spiritual power fruit, Ruan Qiuping was afraid for a while.

He pursed his lips and clenched his fists in annoyance.

He got along with Yu Huan a lot, had a lot of contact, and became a little careless when communicating with people... He even almost forgot that he must never get in touch with others.

It was the same when he picked up the leaf just now, he didn't even use any spells, and just came over directly, if he accidentally bumped into a dongdong when he was handing over something... the consequences would be disastrous.

"Where is brother going?" Ruan Dongdong asked him, tilting his head.

"My brother went to the back mountain to practice."

It is impossible to practice kung fu, and he didn't even go to the back mountain, but ran to Sunset Lake.

There are ten kinds of raw materials for Reminiscence Soup, but seven of them are relatively common, and can even be bought directly in the trading forest. The remaining three are relatively rare, and you need to find them yourself.

These three are the Millennium Lotus from Mangyi Snow Mountain, the Pearl of Suffering at the bottom of Sunset Lake and the Lover Fruit from Duanqing Mountain.

Once the thousand-year lotus is picked off, it can only survive for one day and one night, so Ruan Qiuping is going to find the Sikuzhu and Lover's Fruit first.

Sunset Lake is very close to Ruan Qiuping's house, but a little further west.

Sunset Lake Sunset Lake, out of the pool at sunset.

There is a plant called blue vine floating on the surface of Sunset Pool all the year round. When this plant floats on the water, it will tightly trap the entire Sunset Pool. Then you can't get in.

But this difficult blue vine will slowly dissipate every afternoon when the sun goes down, and when the sun has completely set, they will rewind again.

Ruan Qiuping came here just in time today, the sun was in the west, and most of the blue vines had been scattered, so Ruan Qiuping took off his coat and plunged directly into the water.

In fact, in the water, the best spell to use is the water-avoiding spell, but this spell is particularly labor-intensive. Ruan Qiuping didn't use it well, so he used the breath-holding spell to survive.

Although using the breath-holding spell will not make people feel difficult to breathe, the cold pool water is really pressing on the body.

Ruan Qiuping was already physically weak from Yu Huan's torment today, and after an hour of searching in the water, he was a little tired.

Seeing that the blue vines on the lake were about to gather again, Ruan Qiuping couldn't find any fragments of the bitter clam.

He sighed and had to come out of the lake first.

The time for entering and exiting Sunset Lake is just over an hour a day, and the time is really tight.

Although Ruan Qiuping didn't expect that he could find the Pearl of Thought and Bitterness all at once, but he had been in the water for more than an hour and found nothing, so he was inevitably a little frustrated.

Ruan Qiuping climbed out of the pool, shook the water off his body with spells, and put on his coat again. He patted his face to cheer himself up, and decided to go to Duanqing Mountain to pick up his lover before it was completely dark. fruit.

At the end of the day, Ruan Qiuping fell down Duanqing Mountain twice and found nothing.

Ruan Qiuping returned home a little frustrated, and threw himself on the bed.

Not long after he lay down, he smelled a scorched breath. Following the breath, he found that the blood on his legs accidentally rubbed against the bed, scorching the sheets black.

Ruan Qiuping looked at the burnt sheets and sighed repeatedly.

He wanted to use spells to heal the injury on his leg, but he spent too much mana today, and the healing effect was not satisfactory, barely enough to stop the bleeding.

Ruan Qiuping was tired and sleepy. He wanted to lie down and sleep, but he hadn't finished his homework yet.

Since he resumed the practical class, the recording task of their group has basically fallen to him again.

After Ruan Qiuping finished his homework, he began to write today's record of good things.

As it was written, he took out the ring from the Qiankun bag and put it on his hand.

When he thought of the pair of rings that Yu Huan in the mortal world was wearing that was exactly the same as his, he felt that this ring unexpectedly gave off a warm feeling.

Unknowingly, the record of today's good deeds has also turned the page.

Except for the last item, which was the beautiful fallen leaves given to him by his sister, the rest were all related to Yu Huan.

Ruan Qiuping closed the record book of good deeds, hesitated for a moment, and opened it again.

He added another one to the last line.

Ninth good thing: I went to Sunset Lake and Duanqing Mountain today. Although the Sikuzhu is a little hard to find, I feel that I will find the lover fruit soon!

Facts have proved that Moldy God's premonition is always inaccurate.

For example, now, after he has been looking for Siku Pearl and Lover Fruit for eight consecutive days, he has not even seen the leaves of Lover Fruit on Duanqing Mountain, but the Siku Clam in Sunset Lake is so bright that it would blind him Eye.

He looked at the Siku clams that suddenly appeared one by one from the bottom of the water, and rubbed his eyes in shock.

Ruan Qiuping didn't even know what happened. He was just estimating the time and thought it was time to go, so he floated up and prepared to leave, but just as he touched the water, he accidentally touched the blue vine, and his finger was immediately caught by the blue vine. The spikes punctured.

He didn't care about this small injury at first, but immediately, a burst of white light radiated from the bottom of the lake.

He subconsciously looked at the light source, and immediately found that the Siku clams that he hadn't been able to find after digging three feet had broken out of the ground one after another, shining brightly.

Ruan Qiuping immediately swam down excitedly again, reaching out his hand to break the clam to get the pearl, but the clam was tightly closed, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break it apart.

Ruan Qiuping raised his head and looked at the lake. The blue vines were gathering faster and faster. Seeing that the final exit was about to be blocked, Ruan Qiuping's heart tightened, and he hurriedly wanted to swim to the lake with the clam in his arms, but This Siku clam is too huge, with a diameter of more than half a meter, and it is as heavy as a stone when hugged. Ruan Qiuping tried twice in a row to be able to hug this clam, but after he picked it up, the clam turned out to be like Like a living thing with long legs, it took Ruan Qiuping heavily to run underwater. When Ruan Qiuping finally floated up with the clam in his arms, the lake had become pitch black—the blue vines completely sealed off the water surface.

Ruan Qiuping's heart gradually sank.

Ruan Qiuping tried to use magic to break these blue vines, but after trying again and again, except for the loss of his spells bit by bit, these blue vines were unscathed and did not move at all.

The spell he used just now took too much energy from Ruan Qiuping, which made it a little difficult for him to use the breath-holding spell now. Ruan Qiuping slowly sank to the bottom of the water with the Siku clam in his arms, feeling that his whole body had lost all strength.

Ruan Qiuping fell into the mud at the bottom of the pool, but the Siku clam in his arms quietly opened a narrow gap, and the soft mussel meat touched Ruan Qiuping's fingertips.

Ruan Qiuping suddenly felt a blur in front of his eyes, and a noisy sound seemed to come from a distance, and then approached inch by inch.

It is the cry of women, the cry of children, the roar of men, and the cry of animals.

These noisy voices squeezed into his ears and invaded his mind, making his expression more and more relaxed.

Immediately afterwards, the scenery in front of him darkened inch by inch. In the endless darkness, there were insults and sighs.

He saw him stretch out his hands, wanting his mother to hug him, but his mother turned away crying.

He saw his father laughing and teasing him with toys, and he smiled, but he sighed again and put on a sad face.

He saw a child of the same age hold a wooden stick against his chest, push him down, and scolded him, saying: "It is because of you, an unlucky ghost, that our family has to move."

One, two, three, four children circled around him, calling him unlucky ghost and unlucky star over and over again.

He saw his mother drive away the children who were bullying him, angrily poured water on the children to make them roll, and then silently cleaned the mud-filled gate.

He saw his mother on the hospital bed crying and throwing herself into his father's arms, trembling all over, saying: Let's not let him go, I can't take it anymore, I'm in too much pain, I'm going crazy...

When he saw his mother turned her head and found him, her face suddenly became panicked: Qiuping, Qiuping, don't listen to your mother's nonsense, mother is out of her mind, mother will not leave you, mother is sorry for you... I'm sorry... I'm sorry... …

He saw himself saying: Mom, throw me away.

He saw his mother covering her face suddenly and crying hysterically.

"Go to sleep." A soft voice came suddenly, the voice was as gentle as water and clouds, "Sleep well...you won't be sad."

He was surrounded by water, but the bone-cold water became warm in an instant, like a soft bed, gently supporting his body.

As if bewitched, his eyes slowly closed.

A sweet dream indeed.

Ruan Qiuping couldn't remember what it was, but he always thought it was a clear blue sky, clean clouds, and the clouds surrounded him like a warm hug.

The night was not long, the sun rose, and it seemed that a ray of sunlight shone into the lake through the gap of the blue vines, and it also brightened the corners of Ruan Qiuping's slightly curved lips in his sleep.

The soft dream is still going on, as if it will never stop.

The clouds that hugged him became the family that hugged him.

Dongdong hugged his leg and called his brother sweetly.

His father smiled heartily and wrapped his arms around his shoulders, saying that he would teach him spells by hand.

Mother walked over step by step, with a gentle smile on her face, softly called his name, and held him tightly in her arms.

In the clouds, all his family members are smiling.

The sun was shining and the wildflowers were blooming.

Ruan Qiuping was immersed in his mother's warm embrace, and raised his head, only to find that there was a man in the corner, and that man didn't hug him or smile.

The man was wearing a dark gray suit and was leaning on a black cane in his hand. He was tall and stood upright, but his back was full of indescribable loneliness and loneliness.

The crutch in the man's hand moved, and he turned around slowly.

He stared into Ruan Qiuping's eyes and asked:

Ruan Ruan, I have been waiting for you for a long time, why are you still not here?

……

"—Yu Huan!"

Ruan Qiuping suddenly opened his eyes.

The sunlight was split into pieces by the blue vines, and it fell into the lake, almost stinging his eyes.

Ruan Qiuping suddenly found that the Siku clam, which he couldn't open no matter what, was opening its mouth wide at the moment, and a faint blue bead was lying in the clam, shining softly.

Think bitter bead? !

Ruan Qiuping suddenly understood that all the dreams he had before were all caused by the bead and clam!

The clam also seemed to feel the danger, and was about to close itself immediately. Ruan Qiuping buckled the bead off quickly with his eyes and hands, and held it firmly.

The thought bitter pearl is cold in texture, holding it in the palm of the hand, it makes people feel a sense of sadness for no reason, and some bad memories all rush to the mind.

Ruan Qiuping hurriedly opened the Qiankun bag and threw the bead into it, only then did he feel better.

but……

Ruan Qiuping looked at the sky outside through the gap between the blue vines, and couldn't help frowning.

In fact, if he waited here until the afternoon, the blue vines would naturally disperse.

But he couldn't afford to wait.

Ruan Qiuping usually goes to school at [-]:[-] in the morning, and sometimes the teacher will inform them in advance of the routine maintenance of the Huahuamen, and postpone the class time a little bit.

Moreover, Si Ming would speak to them from time to time before going down to earth, and sometimes the speech was a bit longer, and they could go down after nine o'clock, but when Si Ming didn't speak, they could enter Huahua Gate one by one at 08:30.

But looking at the sky outside, it seems to be past eight o'clock now.

Ruan Qiuping panicked immediately, what if he missed going down to earth?

Wouldn't Yu Huan have to wait for a year in vain?

But this blue vine is difficult to open, he also tried using spells yesterday, but it didn't help at all.

Taking advantage of the good light, Ruan Qiuping inspected the blue vines one by one to see if there were any large gaps.

The gap was not found, but a scorched black spot was found.

Ruan Qiuping frowned, and looked down at his injured hand.

He ran into this place last night and suffered some injuries, and the blood fell into the lake, which led to those bitter clams.

But he didn't expect that such an indestructible blue vine would be corroded by his blood.

Ruan Qiuping thought for a while, and then directly grasped the blue vine in front of him.

The thorns on the blue vine pierced his palm, and blood soon flowed out.

The pain made his palms tremble a little, but Ruan Qiuping acted as if he couldn't feel anything. He held the vine covered with thorns, gritted his teeth fiercely, and quickly stroked the vine from front to back. one time!

The palm of the hand was burning hot, and blood gushed out like a spring, and the blue vine that was scratched by the blood also became scorched black.

Soon, it was disconnected.

Ruan Qiuping breathed a sigh of relief, and he cut off several vines one after another in the same way, only to make a gap, and then quickly jumped onto the water.

Ruan Qiuping glanced at the scorched vines, but what he thought was:

If he had [-]% bad luck in the mortal world that day, then he would definitely be able to use blood to boil the bracelet that imprisoned his strength, and then Yu Huan's leg would not be broken.

The excessive blood loss made Ruan Qiuping's face pale.But he didn't have the time and energy to heal himself, but he was afraid that his blood would accidentally hurt others, so he hastily used a spell to stop the bleeding, and then used the remaining mana to teleport.

In an instant, he appeared in front of the Vanity Gate.

The students were talking and laughing as they walked out of the Vanity Gate.

"Ruan Qiuping, why didn't you come today? Wait...how did you get hurt?!" Jingyang asked worriedly.

Ruan Qiuping paled: "...Is it over?"

"It's over, all the students have returned, and the dust-watching doors are closed..."

Before Jingyang finished speaking, he saw Ruan Qiuping hurried into the vanity gate.

The staff of Guanchenmen were about to close the door, when they saw Ruan Qiuping, they were stunned for a moment, and then said: "Go out, the door is about to close."

"I'm...I'm a student here, I'm late, can you let me go down again?"

"No, it's closing time."

Ruan Qiuping took two steps forward, but the staff member fled back ten steps in fright: "...you, you...what do you want to do, you are a god of mold, you dare to get so close to me, are you planning to Take revenge on me?"

Ruan Qiuping stopped: "I just want to go down."

"But when the time comes..."

"It is stipulated that the dead are alive." A familiar voice came.

Seeing someone coming, Ruan Qiuping was stunned for a moment, it turned out to be Chen Hai.

I saw Chen Hai say: "You also know that this annoying person is a mold god, how dare you treat him like this."

The staff asked with some puzzlement: "What is this saying?"

Chen Hai approached the staff, and said in a voice that seemed to be whispered but everyone could hear: "This is the god of mold, you make things difficult for him, if he wants to take revenge on you, you don't even know how to die. And , if you don’t let him go down, he’s been relying on you all the time, the longer he stays here, the more unlucky you will be, you might as well send him down quickly.”

The staff took another step back in fright. He hesitated for a while with a tangled expression on his face, and finally took out a bracelet and said to Ruan Qiuping: "...or...or you can go down, I can get off work a few minutes late .”

Ruan Qiuping looked at Chen Hai suspiciously, and really didn't understand why Chen Hai suddenly changed his temper to help him.

Chen Hai scratched his head, and his tone was a bit reluctant: "...you go down quickly, go down early and come back early, after you come back... I have something to ask you."

Ruan Qiuping nodded, and walked into the Chenchen Gate wearing a bracelet.

After going underwater for eight days, I finally found the Siku Pearl. I was trapped by the most difficult blue vine in the legend, but I came out with only a little injury. Even though I was late, I still got my wish with the help of Chen Hai. Down to earth.

Today seems to be full of twists and turns, but everything is turning around.

Ruan Qiuping felt that today would be an excellent day.

Although his body was dusty like a tramp at the moment, his mood was extremely cheerful.

Ruan Qiuping hummed quietly in his heart, while looking around, looking for the trace of Yu Huan.

The place where he appears now is not very good, he actually appeared directly in Yu Huan's company.

When Ruan Qiuping came out of the sunset pool, he didn't have time to tidy up. If he showed up directly with naked clothes on his body, it would inevitably attract attention, so Ruan Qiuping went invisible for the time being.

At this moment, the door of the meeting room suddenly opened.

Look at the man in the middle of the crowd.

Ruan Qiuping's eyes immediately curved up.

--found it.

A group of men in suits came out of the conference room, young and old, tall and short.But Ruan Qiuping felt that only Yu Huan was the prettiest.

Yu Huan is 42 years old this year, his complexion is a little pale, but he is still very handsome, the years have treated him very favorably, it has not left any traces of vicissitudes on his body, on the contrary, it has precipitated his mature temperament More stable and elegant.

He walked a little slowly, but the sound of the cane hitting the ground gave people an unspeakable sense of oppression.

The lively new employee passed by this corridor, and wanted to say hello to him happily, but was a little scared away by his calm and majestic demeanor, the smile on his face could not help but suppressed, and he lowered his head and said in a low voice, Mr. , turned around and ran away.

Ruan Qiuping's steps toward Yu Huan became lighter.

But when he walked in front of Yu Huan, he followed Yu Huan's pace and backed up step by step, Yu Huan took a step, he took a step back, as if he thought this kind of game was very interesting.

But he did not take two steps back in time, and his toes bumped against Yu Huan's. Yu Huan seemed to have sensed something was wrong, and his steps paused.

The subordinates behind him also stopped in their tracks, not knowing what Mr. Yu was going to do.

Ruan Qiuping quietly stretched out his hand and held Yu Huan.

The next moment, Yu Huan lowered his head and smiled.

Many people looked at his sudden smile and stood there in a daze.

Yu Huan slowly clenched Ruan Qiuping's hand, turned his head to look at the assistant beside him, and his tone was involuntarily tinged with tenderness: "All the itineraries for these two days have been cancelled."

The assistant was almost taken aback by his smile and tone, and after a long pause, he nodded in a panic: "Okay...Okay Mr. Yu, I understand."

Yu Huan pulled Ruan Qiuping, who was invisible to everyone, and involuntarily quickened his pace, even the sound of the crutch falling on the ground became hasty.

He just walked quickly to the office at the end of the corridor, and then slammed the door shut.

Arriving at Yu Huan's office, Ruan Qiuping pressed the button on the bracelet to cancel the stealth mode: "Yu..."

But before he could say anything, all of them disappeared in a gentle and strong kiss.
