One of the Twelve Kingdoms

"I don't think I can find any more things." Joshua and Baihu walked out of the tidy and crowded small room, and left there as if they had never been there, but they took the picture album home.

Of course, Jonathan also saw this picture book when he went home for dinner. Joshya didn't intend to hide it, although Jonathan didn't bother him. People do something, no longer being controlled by adults all the time, and finally being regarded as the pride of adults.

"This is not complete. Many pages have been torn out. The only thing he accidentally left behind is the one you mentioned." Jonathan said, and Joshua noticed this after looking at it.The picture book was bound in circles, so he didn't realize that the paper had become much thinner.Jonathan turned to the blank page inside, touched it with his fingertips, his eyes suddenly changed, and he said to his younger brother, "Go to the kitchen and get the germicidal lamp."

"What did you find?" Joshua leaned forward curiously, and obediently went to get something after being glared at by his brother.

He turned on the ultraviolet light, and the hazy blue light shone on the blank white paper, and suddenly faint words appeared on it, and Jason left a message inside.

"Copy it down." Jonathan took the light and continued to give orders to his brother.

"What are these? It doesn't look like words." Joshua frowned at the fragmented information, the handwriting on it was blurred and scribbled.He carefully identified and read them one by one: "Arrows, wolves, crosses, this is..." Joshua looked at the half-suffixed ending and decided to skip it first, "And plastic."

These seemingly irrelevant words were arranged in disorder on the white paper, like a hasty scribble, it was difficult to capture valid clues, maybe Jason's random scribbles had no meaning at all.

But Jonathan shook his head and denied this inference, saying: "He may have left this flower-style painting on purpose, just for us to discover this."

Joshua frowned: "It doesn't make sense. Since he wanted to avoid us, why did he keep these? What does he want to tell us?"

The two brothers fell silent, and after a few seconds Jonathan said coldly: "It's not important, you should first think about how to get back to your throne, instead of waiting to meet God." He threw the album back into his brother's arms, and The trained Joshua clicked his tongue and grunted, "Admit that you didn't have a clue to kill you, Johnny?"

The objects in the room were gradually stained with a layer of golden light, and Joshua realized that it was already evening.He walked to the window and looked at the sky that was about to enter dusk, everything was calm.There was still no response to the letter he sent.Joshua sighed, and drew the curtains.

Before going to bed at night, Joshua couldn't help but look through the picture book again by the desk lamp, trying to find something tricky in it.But apart from that, I have to say that although Jason never showed off his outstanding painting skills, those fantastic and mysterious creatures are depicted like living creatures in his pen.Joshua was absent-mindedly thinking about something in his mind, and his eyes stopped on the page of Yan Qi unknowingly.It was a unicorn in the form of a unicorn, a creature like a horse and a deer standing on the peak of Aoshuang Mountain, looking at the Qiao Kingdom under the sea of ​​clouds, with proud and compassionate eyes.

"What are you doing now?" Joshua couldn't help stroking the pair of golden eyes and long flowing mane on the painting, talking to himself in a low voice.He stared at this quiet and mysterious creature in the eyes of others, but most of his memories were of Yanqi snorting angrily—and there were only two times when he was at a loss because he kissed him.Joshua never understood what he was thinking at that time, the only thing that seemed certain was that he was not happy about it.

Joshua frowned and bit his lip, thought about tearing off this page, folded it carefully and put it in his pocket.

Someone called him just as he was doing this.

"Hi, are you asleep?"

It's Alexander.Joshua suddenly woke up. He froze for a moment and then replied with a relaxed tone: "Not yet. Oh, by the way, thank you for today's matter. I originally wanted to wait until tomorrow to express my gratitude more formally, but now it's okay... Anyway thank you."

The other party was a little confused and asked, "So tomorrow's plan has been cancelled?"

"No, no, it's not contradictory, I mean you did me a big favor."

Alexander seemed relieved: "That's great."

Joshua secretly bit the tip of his tongue, hating himself for being incoherent when he was nervous, he didn't even pay attention to what the other party said just now, and finally changed the subject: "Are you in 'Sardinia'?"

That was the bar they used to go to, it was only after ten o'clock, and the monotonous but historic night entertainment had just started to open.Joshua heard muffled music on the other end, and Alexander should have been talking to himself in the back room of the bar.He has no prey to eat today?I still want to warn myself not to bother him again.Joshua guessed wildly in his heart.

Alexander replied: "Yeah, are you feeling bored?"

Joshua shrugged: "It's always lively there, all the handsome men in the city are there, and if it's you, you can drink free wine forever..."

Alexander listened to him silently, and suddenly said, "I want to see you."

The other party's sudden words made Joshua feel as if his tongue had disappeared all of a sudden, and he couldn't find a suitable response, and the strange silence made the other party think that he was still entangled with the previous matter.

"Are you still angry with me?" Alexander asked tentatively.

"No, it's not." Joshua rubbed his eyebrows and explained weakly: "I just think what you said is right. It's not bad for our relationship to be based on the colleague's younger brother and brother's colleague."

"Okay, I see." The other end was silent for a second and answered bluntly, and then asked as if he had just realized it: "Are you not even willing to be friends with me? It's because I hurt you by rejecting you before." self-esteem?"

"Alexander, please, it's rude to ask such a question." The other party's sharp and straightforward question made Joshua a little angry.Fortunately, the other party stopped asking, and broke the awkward silence after nearly five seconds: "What are you eating?"

Joshua froze for a moment, stopped chewing and replied: "I'm eating a lollipop, sorry." Realizing that it was impolite, he took out the candy in his mouth first, hesitated and asked, "Why do you like me?" ? You and Jonathan are together every day, you know that in this circle he is much more popular than me."

Alexander thought for a while and replied, "Because you are blonde?"

Joshua waited for a while before hearing the following, and said in disbelief, "That's it?"

Alexander affirmed: "Yes, I was attracted by your blond hair the first time I walked into the bar, so I think it can be used as a reason."

Yes, what more complicated explanation is needed for this kind of thing?

"I won't stay here for long." Joshua said, but his tone was a little shaken.

"I know, I just can't help but want to see you." The other party's voice became gentle and deep, Joshua struggled for a few seconds, and finally decided to follow his heart, saying: "You wait for me there."

Joshua immediately hung up the phone and got up from the bed, ran downstairs and dragged out the bicycle and rode to the destination at the fastest speed. The 15-minute journey became extremely long in the hot night wind.When the blue shop row came into view, the panting Joshya couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.He took a breath, straightened his hair and clothes before entering the bar.However, when he walked through the dancing crowd and looked around every corner, he found that Alexander was not there at all.None of the acquaintances, bartenders, and waiters here have seen him, at least not tonight.

Joshua opened his shining blue eyes, and quickly understood what was in the sympathetic gazes of others.His eyes dimmed, his face flushed from being laughed at like a clown, and he turned and left in a hurry.

The anger at being fooled did not erupt belatedly until Alexander rang the doorbell at his house the next day.

As soon as Joshua saw his face through the gap in the door, he immediately slammed the door shut, blocking the other party from an unreliable board, and shouted angrily: "Get out!"

"I'm sorry, Josh." The other party's pitiful apology came over, and Joshya was even more annoyed: "I don't want to see you now, you are like a coward waiting for me to take the bait and then run away. I'm not an idiot, I won't do it again It was the third time."

"Listen, I did remember the bar wrong yesterday, but I waited there all night."

"Then you should call me."

"Your phone is turned off." Alexander explained, waiting for a long time to respond anxiously: "I'm sorry, Josh. I can make it up to you, as long as you forgive me, I can do anything, whether it's wearing a police uniform and going to the bar to dance or just go to the bar right now. Jump into the river, I'm serious."

"..." Joshua suddenly felt that he was at a disadvantage again. He opened the door with a straight face, but the next second he was grabbed by his arms and pushed back against the door panel, and passionate kisses fell down.

He drank coffee in the morning.Joshya thought as he closed his eyes.The Fiennes couple, who got up just as the two were gnawing in full swing, sighed in surprise when they saw this scene.

"Good morning, Mom and Dad." Joshya pushed Alexander away trying to save his image, and his mother said kindly: "You are busy with your work, don't worry about us."

In the end, Alexander actually pushed him back again. Joshya perfunctory for a while like kissing a puppy, and a bird song interrupted their good deed again.

"There is a reply. God, it's finally here." Joshua almost jumped up for joy when he saw the letter bird, and Alexander said helplessly: "Now you have rejected me twice."
