One of the Twelve Kingdoms

They walked the two blocks, taking a side street through the back door to Joshya's house.

"This is the first time I've brought a man home." Joshya looked at his dark room on the second floor: "They are all asleep, let's keep our voices quiet." He grabbed the water pipe by the wall as if he was about to go Climbing up, Gong Qi looked puzzled at King Gong hanging on the wall like a gecko, "Why don't we go through the main entrance?"

Joshua rolled his eyes, turned around and replied in a low voice: "Because I don't have a key, smart guy, do you understand?" He continued to climb up, and after a while he reached the window sill, and said to himself: "I hope the window Not closed."

He stood on the window sill close to the edge, propping the top of the window with one hand and grabbing the window frame with the other hand to pull, the sound of metal rubbing against each other was particularly loud in the quiet night.

Joshua quickly jumped in, and after making sure his parents hadn't been woken up, he said to Qin Qi, "Come up."

"Jiao Wu." Gong Qi said softly, the huge monster flew its owner to the window, and disappeared automatically after the owner landed safely.

Joshua looked at the elegant gentleman in the night, who didn't even have a hair messy, and frowned in disbelief: "Aren't you ashamed?"

Yan Qi tilted his head to express his incomprehension, and Joshua spread his hands: "Pretend I didn't say it." He muttered depressingly: "I should really bring the snow fox..."

He turned on the desk lamp and turned it to the lowest level, the bewitching light green jumped over the rose red and settled on the light yellow.Yan Qi stared at his movements without blinking, and then reached out to touch the place Joshua pressed just now, and the color of the light also flashed back and forth.

"Hey, don't play with that." Joshya was busy charging his phone, the loud boot system sound frightened him and immediately adjusted it to vibration, "I'm like a thief." He threw away the phone and collapsed on the bed and decided that everything was okay. Wait until dawn, then take a long breath in the pose of the end of the day: "I'm exhausted, I'm going to bed, can you freeze the lights? What are you doing?"

The next second, the deafening music made Joshya jump up.

"Xinqi!" He rushed over to turn off the speakers but pressed the volume button, the pop female singer's powerful and fiery voice woke up everyone's ears.

The sound of footsteps resounded in the corridor, and a woman asked nervously, "My God, what's going on, there are thieves!"

"It's my mother, turn it off quickly." Joshya turned around in a hurry, but accidentally bumped into the table, and the desk lamp rolled on the ground twice, and the color of the light flashed so Joshya almost went crazy: "I must I'm going to throw you away!"

"Who's in there!?"

Joshua lowered his voice and said, "It's my dad. He must be guarding the door with a baseball bat."

Yan Qi looked at him like a headless chicken and asked, "Wouldn't it be better to just open the door?"

Joshua squinted and shouted silently: "I'm not ready yet!"

Outside the door, the owner who thought someone was trespassing said to his wife, "Honey, I'm here to guard this place, go and call the police."

The woman immediately said: "The thief may have a weapon, I'll get your shotgun."

Joshua was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat, and immediately shouted: "Don't call the police, it's me!"

"who are you?"

"Joshua!"

"Liar! That guy hasn't been seen for almost a month. How could you be...Josh?!"

The door was slammed open, and Joshua was hugged into a warm embrace, the tight embrace almost strangled him.

"Mom, calm down, calm down."

Mrs. Fiennes let go of her youngest son until she almost trembled in her hug, her similar green eyes filled with tears: "Josh, it's really you."

"Yes, Mom... ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Let you disappear for half a month for no reason! Do you know that we are looking for you every day, posting missing person notices on the walls of every street and asking every passerby with your portrait!"

Joshya softened, "I'm sorry, Mom."

At this time his father came over and said, "Okay, let's go to the living room and talk."

After a while of flying around, the Fiennes family gathered on the sofa on the first floor.

They were silent, the hostess stared at her long-lost son, and finally glanced at the strange man standing beside him, breaking the silence:

"Who is he?"

Joshua answered quickly: "Viserys."

Mrs. Fiennes smiled and warned: "That's the name of the dragon girl brother in A Song of Ice and Fire, don't try to fool me."

Joshua was dumbfounded: "God, there are people who care about the name of the idiot supporting role in a TV series."

"He's stupid but he's sexy." She retorted, then lowered her voice: "Is he your boyfriend?"

"of course not!"

Joshya's denial made her mother heave a sigh of relief: "That's good, I don't allow you to have an affair with any member of a non-mainstream rock band. You know, if you get involved with one of them, it means you get involved with all of them." member."

Joshya didn't want to know why his mother was telling him this, trying to change the subject: "Where's my brother, he's not home?"

"Jonathan went on vacation with his girlfriend."

"What?" Joshua said angrily, "He actually let his brother and girlfriend go out to have fun?"

The mother immediately complained for the eldest son: "Of course Jonathan is working hard, but you are his younger brother, and he keeps looking for your whereabouts when he is not in class...It is true that he should come back now, dear, go and call him." She looked at her husband: "We have a welcome party tomorrow, and Jonathan can bring his girlfriend along."

"So where have you been these days? Have you been injured?" She checked Joshya's face, but the latter was not ready for what to say, so he hesitated for a long time and said, "I went to a place far away. .”

"Where is that? The Middle East? Japan?"

"No." Joshua interrupted her, a little afraid to meet her mother's eyes: "It's another world."

"Josh, that's what you said when you were eight years old and wanted to sneak off to Aunt Betty's orchard."

"It's true." Joshua stood up and gestured, "I was taken there suddenly, and said that I was originally from there, and I was also the king of a country. If I left there, I would die or something..." The more he The more excited I said, "I really want to come back, but I don't know where the exit is. From time to time, a bunch of monsters come out to attack people..."

Mom was stunned: "This is crazy."

"Calm down, Josh, you're back, you're fine." At this moment, the father patted Josh on the back and looked at his wife and said, "It's too late, let Josh rest first, he must have not slept well for a long time I woke up."

Joshya fell silent: "Thank you, Dad."

They turned off the lights and walked upstairs, when mother suddenly stopped Qi Qi who followed Josh into the bedroom without saying a word, pointed to another room and said, "Viserys, you live in this room."

Yan Qi looked at Joshua, who waved his hand exhaustedly: "Go, I don't want to share a bed with you."

Yan Qi could only obey the arrangement obediently.For some reason, Joshua felt that the mother who slammed the door looked triumphant over something.

Early the next morning, Joshya was woken up by loud noises in the kitchen.

He got up and took a shower, took the phone key, and knocked on the door of his brother's room before going downstairs: "Xinqi, I'm going out, hurry up."

The hostess who was busy making pizza saw her youngest son who was picking up a bicycle and asked, "Josh, where are you going?"

"Go to Casey." Joshya replied.

"Come back before five in the afternoon and don't miss the welcome party."

Joshua had already rode out, and the answer came from afar: "No problem!"

Joshya bought a sandwich at a breakfast place she frequented, then went straight to Kathy's house and knocked on her bedroom window.

"Casey! Casey!"

The sound of bang bang bang made the sleeping girl roll around under the quilt, and finally threw it off unbearably, "Jeffrey, if you dare to smash my window again, I will ask my father to send you to the boy scout camp." !"

"It's me, Josh."

"Josh?!" Casey woke up all of a sudden. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the person outside the window. The next second, he jumped to the ground, and his pajamas almost fell off.

She opened the window to let people in, and she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth and eyes.The two hugged and twirled together, and Joshya said happily, "Cathy, you don't know how much I miss you."

"Me too. Gosh, you're finally back, where have you been?"

The next second, Casey looked up and looked behind him, her eyes sparkled, and her manner suddenly became ladylike: "Hi, may I ask you...?"

Yan Qi followed up at some point, and Joshya introduced: "He is Yan Qi, the one you met was the guy in the bar that day."

Casey remembered immediately, "Oh, it's you. My name is Casey."

Xun Qi nodded, but didn't reply.

Casey whispered to Joshua, "He's really cool."

She opened the closet door to act as a cover and quickly changed her clothes. Joshua gave her breakfast, and the latter went out with him after packing: "Have you watched the video?"

"What video?" Joshya asked strangely.

"It's the video of you flying on a woman who looks like a centaur. It was all over the Internet first, and it was on the news a while ago, but no one recognized that it was you. By the way, a few days ago Someone came to the school to look for you, in a black suit and tie, and looked very difficult."

Joshua frowned and thought for a while, "I don't know such a person."

"Look, this is it." Casey showed him the phone screen, a few seconds of video, it was a shot of him and Qi Qi flying away in the wind of flowers that day, the number of clicks and comments of the video was staggering .

"Everyone thought it was special effects or a new movie promotion or something."

They walked to the school gate unconsciously, and Joshah stopped.

"what happened?"

Joshua's expression darkened: "I can't go to school."

Casey looked at him. "Why? Everyone will be happy to see you back."

Joshua shook his head: "I can't."

"Hey, blonde."

A domineering teenager approached, Joshya glanced to pretend not to see, but the tall boy blocked their way.
