The icy cold water gently dripped into the palm of the hand, and then slipped away leisurely along the cracks of the fingers, leaving only a gleam of water, turning the cold white skin into a jade-like texture.
The blue eyes looked faintly at the unretainable water, and seemed to be looking at something else through these.
The coldness on his cheeks dissipated quickly, and Tao Yiran mechanically raised his hand again, slapping his face with cold water that he couldn't escape in time, trying to make his mind a little more clear, so that he could distinguish clearly, what is he to Jiang Zixu? What do you think.
Is it liking, or... as Bai Nianchi said, is it just a desire to possess Jiang Zixu's blood?
Under the light of the sink, Tao Yiran stared at the embarrassed young man in the mirror whose forehead was still dripping with water drops, his face was full of confusion and uneasiness.
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared behind the boy, and his expression immediately became tense.
The eyes of the two were separated in the mirror, and the young man hurriedly lowered his head, turned off the faucet to cover up, turned around and smiled slightly at the other party: "Why are you here?"
There was no smile in Jiang Zixu's deep black eyes, staring at Tao Yiran's smile slowly faded like a tide, and finally he pursed his lips tightly and looked away.
In front of the wide washbasin, the air is extraordinarily quiet.A drop of water quietly rolled down from Tao Yiran's golden hair to the corner of his eye, and after meeting with other water sources, it went all the way down again. Halfway through, it was finally intercepted gently by fingers and landed on the white fingertips. Rubbing it quietly on the cold cheeks, a hazy wetness fainted out.
His movements were too gentle, and his eyes were tender, Tao Yiran's nose was sore, and he said with a choked voice, "I'm sorry."
Obviously, the two wanted to get the approval of their family members, so they went to the banquet full of expectations and anxiety. They never thought it would be like this.
Tao Yiran is deeply aware that he has screwed up everything, and he blames himself and feels sad for it.
After wiping away the drop of tears, the warm hand did not leave. Instead, he caressed the boy's hair, soothingly messing up the specially prepared hairstyle.
"You didn't do anything wrong, why do you always apologize?"
A helpless voice sounded above his head, Tao Yiran opened his wet eyes, and after being hugged without any grievances, the corners of his lips, which he deliberately kept stable, finally drooped in accordance with his heart, and his hands full of moisture firmly grasped each other clothes, and cried in a low voice: "I wanted to... tell you today that we want to be together...but, but..."
The back was patted briskly and softly, and Tao Yiran heard the other person comfort him softly: "It's okay."
"I'll wait for Ah Ran to get ready."
"It's okay if you can't promise me today, even if you refuse me in the end."
"I didn't say that the pursuit will definitely get a response. Like and dislike are originally selfish. So Aran doesn't need to apologize anymore."
"Stay a little longer, and we'll go back? The food is getting cold, and your brothers are also worried about you."
Maybe Jiang Zixu's voice was too calm, Tao Yiran was successfully comforted by him, and soon stopped crying.After applying cold water to the red corners of his eyes a few times to barely cover up the traces of crying, Tao Yiran silently followed Jiang Zixu and returned to the box.
The moment he opened the door and entered, Tao Yiran found that Bai Nianchi and Bai Niangui put down the teacups in unison, and looked at him with concern, looking a little hesitant to speak.
"Let's eat." Tao Yiran smiled at them, opened the chair and sat down, picked up the bowls and chopsticks with a relaxed expression, "It won't taste good when it's cold."
So Bai Nianchi and Bai Niangui had no choice but to suppress their concerned words, and picked up the chopsticks in cooperation.
The meal was very quiet, but it also made Tao Yiran heave a sigh of relief.He was afraid that his brothers would bring up what happened just now, so that he would inevitably lose his composure again.
After dinner, Bai Nianjiu took the three of them upstairs to rest.After sinking into the soft sofa, Tao Yiran was a little sleepy, so he habitually rested his head on Jiang Zixu's shoulder, found a comfortable position, and stopped moving.
He didn't notice the darkened faces of the two brothers at all.
Fortunately, Bai Nianchi and Bai Nianjiu remembered that Tao Yiran had only cried for a while, and they didn't dare to mention other things, so they could only use their eyes to pass the knife to Jiang Zixu who was still standing still, and the latter accepted it completely, and gave him a gift Polite smile.
Bai Nianchi & Bai Niangui: ...I'm so angry, but I still have to bear it.
The two put away their anger, sat down opposite Tao Yiran, and took the initiative to open up the topic.
"After you got lost back then, I never expected to find you." Bai Nianchi sighed, "I knew I would have taken you and White with me wherever I went. No matter how dangerous my family is, it's better... Sigh."
Hearing him mention that year, Tao Yiran sat up straight without feeling sleepy.Recalling the dream he had a few days ago, he hesitated and asked, "What happened back then? Why did I get lost?"
Hearing this, Bai Nianchi had a slightly bitter expression, rubbed his fingertips on the armrest of the sofa, and spoke slowly.
"After my father and mother left, we naturally became candidates for the next successor. But for our family surrounded by wolves, greed is the instinct engraved in the blood of every glutton. As cubs, we obviously couldn't resist To avoid their threats, I chose the Taotie bloodline in advance, merged with the human form, and took on the title of 'Patriarch of the Gluttony'.
"It's just that this early form goes against the instinct of blood, which naturally makes my physique weaker, and I can't completely suppress other people. Under such circumstances, I persisted for several years, and finally waited until Nian Jiu also formed successfully and carried the family for me. His external career finally made those people shut up for the time being. It's just that their mouths were shut, but the calculations in their hearts couldn't stop.
"At that time, the two of us only felt that the dust had settled, so we relaxed. Until one day, you and White were suddenly kidnapped by the family members. As a threat, we were asked to give up everything in our hands. We caught the mastermind immediately, But he still refused to tell you where you were. We searched for a long time, and finally had to use the forbidden blood technique to find the direction. It's just that when we searched, there was only White left there, without you.
"Of course we were not reconciled, and we went to Zhi Lai Niao, who can predict the future. He said that the clue to find you was abroad, so Nian Jiu went abroad alone, running around the world, just to find your trace. White is afraid I thought of you when I saw him, worried that I would be sad, and quietly packed up my bags and went abroad to study. I am not in good health and cannot travel long distances, so I have to stay in the country and guard my family."
After listening to him, half of the doubts in Tao Yiran's heart disappeared, but even greater doubts arose.He thought for a while, and finally raised his head and looked at the two brothers solemnly.
"...I had a dream two days ago. In the dream, the one who took White and me away was a man with red hair and golden eyes. His original form was not gluttonous, but a bird like a flame."
The three people present were all shocked.Bai Nianchi stood up, shaking his head in disbelief: "How is this possible?!"
"I will change from the form of a cub to what I am now... It was also his hand that fed me some kind of elixir, saying that he would completely remove the blood of Taotie, leaving only the blood of the Jade Rabbit, so that it will be exactly the same as my mother. But at that time, a descendant of a celestial master suddenly attacked him, so he couldn't let him feed me the second elixir, and fled in a hurry. I was saved by the people in the orphanage, and then the celestial master who rescued me With the good hints given early, it led me into the entertainment industry."
Tao Yiran confessed all this and let out a long sigh of relief.Jiang Zixu held his hand, and said in a deep voice: "After listening to your description, Tang Xingwei's warning, and every attack you have received in the past, I have the answer to the true race of that bird. "
"Phoenix." Bai Nianjiu took up the conversation, crushing the back of the sofa in the palm of his hand fiercely.
"Fenghuang... Fenghuang, no wonder Xiaojiu can't find any trace of you in foreign countries... Then, it makes sense. The robin is also a bird, so it is natural to be under the command of the king of birds."
Bai Nianchi muttered to himself, and finally slapped the table angrily: "I knew that group of stinky birds with eyes above the top are nothing good. In the past ten years or so, I thought they had cultivated their morality. I didn't expect it to be because of guilty conscience." .”
Tao Yiran was taken aback by his slap on the table. Before he could speak, he saw Bai Nianchi and Bai Nianjiao hurriedly packing up their things and arranging their respective tasks.
Bai Nianchi: "I'll go to the Zhilainiao to settle the score. Xiaoyou, go to the Monster Beast Association and help Ranran complete the registration procedures. By the way, ask the president to contact the Shenyin's Jade Rabbit Clan and ask if my mother knew the Phoenix back then. A descendant of a family. If you mention it, the other party has hurt Ranran, and those rabbits who protect their shortcomings will definitely not avoid talking about it again."
Seeing that they finished work quickly and looked like they were about to leave, Tao Yiran quickly stood up: "I'll see you off..."
Unexpectedly, Bai Nianchi rushed over and hugged him, and Bai Nianjiu also came over with a dark face and hugged the other half of his body.
Tao Yiran, who was hugged by his elder brother almost out of breath: "Brother, brother... what's wrong?"
"I'm sorry. This time you stay honest, and the brothers will definitely seek justice for you." Bai Nianchi's tone was harsh, but he stroked Tao Yiran's hair extremely gently, and then reluctantly let go, "Let's go, Didn't you say you want to send us off?"
Tao Yiran was a little dazed by the embrace, pulling Jiang Zixu to follow, when Bai Nianchi and Bai Nianjiu stopped and stared at the hands they were holding, his face blushed, and he let go quickly: "I..."
"Humph."
The Bai family brothers glanced at the smiling Jiang Zixu unhappily again, and easily read the provocation in the other's eyes, but they couldn't attack Tao Yiran, so they had to swallow the resentment, planning to save it up, or when the time came Put all your brains on the descendants of the phoenix behind the scenes, or wait until Tao Yiran awakens his blood, say goodbye to Jiang Zixu, and return everything to Jiang Zixu.
The eyes of the three exchanged for only a moment, and Tao Yiran hadn't had time to notice that this brief confrontation was over.So without knowing anything, he and Jiang Zixu walked the brothers to the door, and when they hugged briefly for the last time, they suddenly heard the sound of a shutter in the grass not far away.
anyone?
The three brothers looked at the grass where the paparazzi was squatting in unison, and the man turned and ran in fright, got into a car and fled away.
Tao was also stunned.
It doesn't matter that he and Jiang Zixu were photographed, but what if Bai Nianchi and Bai Nianjiao don't want to be photographed?
Jiang Zixu saw his worry, and comforted him: "It's okay, that paparazzi belongs to Deng Zechen, I already knew it. Don't worry, we will deal with him tonight."
"Deng Zechen? Who is this person?" Bai Nianchi frowned, looked at Tao Yiran, and said in a serious tone, "He bullied you?"
"I used to bully Aran all the time. But the clown, I was taught a lesson once before, and I didn't expect that I would still be determined." Jiang Zixu explained with a sneer, raised his eyebrows and looked at the Bai family brothers, "How about together?"
As he spoke, he shook his phone: "I'll send you something. I think you must be very interested in this kind of thing?"
The brothers of the Bai family, who were worried that they could not find a place to vent their anger, smiled in satisfaction at the target that came to them: "Of course."
Tao Yiran looked at the three men with gentle smiles, and suddenly felt a little crocodile pity for Deng Zechen, who was still ignorant.
After watching the two brothers go away, Tao Yiran stretched his waist and asked, "Shall we go home too? But it seems so boring to go back..."
It's rare to come out, he wants to play a little bit.It's just that it's so hot outside, there seems to be no place to play...
Suddenly his hand was pulled, Tao Yiran turned his head, was kissed on the cheek, blushed immediately, and looked at the expression of the doorman next to him in a panic: "You are crazy, this place is opened by my brother!"
Here are all his second brother's people, Jiang Zixu is not afraid of being settled by Qiuhou!
However, Jiang Zixu was not worried about this at all, but shook the hands they were holding, leaned over, and said mysteriously: "Just now I looked at the facilities here, and there is a swimming pool on the second floor. Would you like it?" to see?"
The author has something to say: Brothers of the Bai family: wait for the settlement after the fall.
Jiang Zixu (smiling): Well thought out.
The blue eyes looked faintly at the unretainable water, and seemed to be looking at something else through these.
The coldness on his cheeks dissipated quickly, and Tao Yiran mechanically raised his hand again, slapping his face with cold water that he couldn't escape in time, trying to make his mind a little more clear, so that he could distinguish clearly, what is he to Jiang Zixu? What do you think.
