There were orioles chirping and flying past outside the window, Nan Xing suddenly opened his eyes, raised his hand to check the time, it was eight o'clock in the morning.

After a night of storms, most of the magnolias outside the window were withered, but they were particularly vibrant in the sunny sunshine after the rain.

Nan Xing sat on the bed in a daze for a few seconds, remembering that Zhang Qiling had promised to come back before she woke up last night.

Glancing around sleepily, she didn't see him, but she didn't feel disappointed—she never woke up at a certain time, her biological clock was so messed up that she couldn't even be sure what time she would see when she woke up tomorrow sun.

After getting up and putting on the slippers, he saw that the door had been pushed open from the outside, and then Zhang Qiling appeared at the door carrying a food box.

"You actually stepped back!" Nan Xing was surprised, and then noticed the food box in his hand.

If you subtract the time to buy breakfast, you really came back before she woke up.

"En." Zhang Qiling came in and put the food box on the table beside him.

Nan Xing hurried into the bathroom to wash up, squeezed toothpaste, and glanced at Zhang Qiling's profile in the mirror.He had obviously just come back from the archives, wearing a gown with deep bamboo and moonlight dark patterns, which was plain but somehow looked good on him.His muscular contours hidden under the gown are perfect. With his height, his legs are stretched very long. It is the combined result of more than 20 years of unstoppable training with an abnormal degree of difficulty and extreme self-discipline.

"I was tossing it so late yesterday, and you woke up so early today, aren't you sleepy?" Nan Xing took a clean towel and wiped off the water on his face, and sat down on a chair opposite Zhang Qiling.

"got used to."

"Ah?" Subconsciously, Nan Xing wanted to say who else has tortured you like this, and it has become a habit. Tell me the name and I will go heads-up.In the next second, he reined in his thoughts and realized that what he meant was that as a humanoid perpetual motion machine that slept for 5 minutes and was energetic all day, he was used to this sleep-deprived state.

Love makes a person less intelligent.

After exclamating this sentence, Nan Xing immediately thought that since he met Zhang Qiling, he didn't seem to have slept for a long time. His sleep was fragmented and fragmented. Get maximum rest.But even in a sleeping state, as long as someone approaches, he will wake up immediately.In a state of tension, he stays awake for a long time, which is a habit formed by him in a high-risk situation for a long time and independently bears all risks.

"Actually, if I'm by your side in the future, you don't need to maintain such a high level of concentration." Nan Xing consciously opened the food box, took out the breakfast from inside, and said, "You have always solved it by yourself. All problems. But in the future, you are no longer alone, I think I should be a more reliable comrade in arms, you can try to rely on me for some things. "

Zhang Qiling glanced at Nan Xing, and she put the empty food box aside, as if she was going to put the proposal into action, she took a tofu skin bun and sent it to him, "You can start with the small matter of eating." Get used to it."

Zhang Qiling didn't answer, and looked at Nan Xing for a long time.

Nan Xing met his gaze awkwardly.

Eyes wide open, the two stare dryly.

However, Zhang Qiling's eyes are extremely clear, as if he has never been polluted by the world, looking at such eyes, you are willing to do anything he asks you to do.

Besides, he just wanted to have a quiet breakfast by himself.

Nan Xing had no choice but to cancel the action, "I'm just making an analogy. Of course, it's more satisfying to eat the meal by myself." She said and put the tofu skin bun back on her plate.

Zhang Qiling didn't speak for a moment, he took a spoon and stirred the bowl of porridge in front of him, then raised his eyes and glanced at Nanxing after a while.

Nan Xing has already started to focus on the dazzling array of breakfasts in front of her, as if the person who was rejected just now was not her at all.

She pulled all her hair back into a low bun, revealing her smooth forehead and slender neck. The tips of her hair were still a little wet, and her jade-like cheeks were whiter and more delicate.

Zhang Qiling silently retracted his gaze, his throat seemed to be hit by some kind of force, and he almost blurted out a sentence.

"By the way, little brother, why did you go to the archives office early today?" Nan Xing asked suddenly.

"Zhang Ruixue sent a message. She has checked all the people in Motuo and sorted out a list. And—" Zhang Qiling looked at Nan Xing suddenly, "Dong Qiu is missing."

Nan Xing paused suddenly, and countless doubts formed a line in his mind, pointing to a conclusion: "...Brother, Dong Qiu is very likely to be from the Wang family! In the ancient tomb in the suburbs of Changsha, there was a finger of the Wang family that I kept I thought it looked familiar, but I didn't remember it for a while, you mentioned her just now, and I recalled that Dong Qiu and the Wang family have the same hair mound."

Zhang Qiling nodded slightly, "Dong Qiu died in the siege a few days ago, but Zhang Ruixue checked Dong Qiu's behavior over the years and found that she has been secretly collecting information about the ancient city of Sizhou and the tomb of Mengding Mountain."

"Are they also interested in gloomy wooden boxes?"

"They don't necessarily know the existence of the gloomy wooden box, but they have deduced some clues based on your actions when you were young." Seeing that Nan Xing was puzzled, Zhang Qiling continued: "The Zhang family has ended the investigation of the ancient city of Sizhou a few years ago. Because the gloomy wooden box was brought back to Zhangjia by us at that time. But the information on the wooden box pointed to the Mengding Mountain Tomb, and no one else knew about it except us. They just combined with your wild choice Mengdingshan speculates that there is some kind of connection between the two."

Hearing this, Nan Xing suddenly realized something, "So, you told me last night that you already have a plan for the next step... Are you planning to go to the Mengding Mountain Tomb again?"

Zhang Qiling put down the spoon, seemed to have finished his breakfast, looked at Nan Xing, "Well, we need to organize a team from the Zhang family, so that the other party can take advantage of it."

The Wang family will definitely not miss this opportunity, but they have always acted in a secretive way, so they must arrange undercover agents from the Zhang family to accompany the team.

Nan Xing rubbed his nose, "Actually... when I was released into the wild, I didn't succeed in entering the tomb of the owner of the Mengding Mountain Tomb. I still don't know what I will encounter if I go deeper."

Zhang Qiling thought for a moment, then said, "It is very likely that you went in and returned without success. Zhang Shengwan reminded that that secret can only be seen by specific people at a specific time."

Nan Xing still had concerns, "We already knew that that particular person was you before, but I'm not sure if it's because of my amnesia that we missed that particular time..."

"Nan Xing," Zhang Qiling looked at her deeply, and said warmly, "Since Zhang Shengwan said that, then this specific time should not be just a single point of time, but should appear alternately in a certain cycle."

Although it was a statement of facts, it also meant to comfort her and let her not have a psychological burden.

Nan Xing's eyes flickered slightly, "You're right, and originally, our focus this time was to shake the infiltration of the Wang family in the Zhang family, and revealing the secret behind the gloomy wooden box is just added value."

After Nan Xing ate the last tofu skin bun, she packed up the dishes and sent the food box back to the hotel kitchen. When she came back, Zhang Qiling didn't leave, which surprised her a little.

He sat quietly on the sofa, looking out the window in a daze.

Nan Xing sat down next to him, overjoyed and at the same time a little puzzled, why did he stay in her room since he had already finished talking about the next plan for a person who never did anything superfluous.

She took out a book, browsed it absently, and occasionally said a few words to Zhang Qiling. At first, he would at least say "hmm" to the questions that needed to be answered, and then gradually fell silent.

Nan Xing recovered, and found that he had closed his eyes and fell asleep on the sofa behind him.

The gauze curtain brushed past, filtering the sunlight into a soft white.

Nan Xing covered the pages of the book on her knees, put her face close to the back of the sofa, and traced the eyes and facial features of Zhang Qiling next to her who were more clear after falling asleep.

He can sleep peacefully next to her, does it mean that he has already begun to try to rely on her for such small things in life?
