The following days were uneventful.

In order to hide Gu Xuecheng, Zhou Yue used the name of recuperating his wounds to strictly forbid idlers to enter and leave the yard at will. With Zisu's heavy lesson, naturally no servants would dare to peep at the master's house again.

More than a month later, news came from Ling Xiaofeng that Gu Ruhai went into seclusion.

Zhou Yue guessed that Gu Ruhai felt that there was little hope of finding Gu Xuecheng. This top cultivator of the rank eight golden elixir finally stopped thinking about his son's ninth rank golden elixir and chose to practice in seclusion and break into the realm by himself.

With Gu Ruhai's retreat, Zhou Yue was determined, and immediately began to implement the plan he had thought up before.

That evening, just as Zhou Yue came back from the alchemy room, Bai Shu hurriedly greeted her, "Peak Lord!"

Zhou Yue said lightly: "What's the matter?"

Bai Shu lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "Peak Master, I heard from the outer disciples at the foot of the mountain that there is a child named Zhou Qingcheng who is asking to see him outside the city, saying that he is your distant relative, Peak Master."

There are tens of thousands of people in Lingxiao City. Except for the servants like Tong'er, those who worship under the masters of the peaks are inner disciples, and those who do not worship under the masters of the peaks are outer disciples. Relatives", they were stopped outside the city gate by the disciples of the outer sect.

Zhou Yue pretended to be surprised and opened her eyes wide: "He said his name is Zhou Qingcheng? Oh, he is a relative of my seventh uncle's family. He is my cousin according to his seniority. Hurry up and pick him up."

Bai Shu thought that it was a mortal who was chasing relatives randomly, but he didn't expect that they were actually relatives of the peak master, so he hurriedly said, "Yes."

Watching Bai Shu leave, Zhou Yue breathed a sigh of relief. Last night, he secretly sent Gu Xuecheng out of the city with his sword, and asked him to seek a meeting from outside the city today, pretending to be his distant relative. Now everything seems to be going well.

Not long after, Bai Shu brought a handsome young man to the courtyard.

The visitor had a handsome appearance and a cool temperament. Although he was not as good as the real ice sculptures, he was still a rare handsome boy. It was Gu Xuecheng who had taken Yi Rong Dan.

Gu Xuecheng stood in front of Zhou Yue, pursing her thin lips, her eyes were a little bewildered, obviously not very good at deception.

Bai Shu kindly reminded: "Don't hurry up and pay respects to Lord Peak Master."

Zhou Yue was secretly amused, and hurried forward to support her: "Oh, isn't this Chenger? It has grown so big in a blink of an eye! Why did you come so far to find me? Your parents are still in good health, aren't they?"

Gu Xuecheng lied stammeringly according to the script agreed upon by the two: "There have been years of wars and chaos outside, the people are living in dire straits, and my parents have passed away."

"How did this happen? Hey, he is also a poor child." Zhou Yue showed a distressed expression, then turned her head and ordered Bai Shu, "Let the kitchen prepare dinner and a change of clothes."

Bai Shu responded, and hurried to prepare. After a while, a sumptuous dinner was served.

Gu Xuecheng was sitting at the table, obviously a little awkward, Zhou Yue had already started serving him dishes generously: "This is crystal fish balls, made with fish nourished by spiritual springs, it is the most nourishing; this is Steamed pork ribs in lotus leaves..."

"Yeah." Gu Xuecheng lowered his eyes and ate the food that Zhou Yue made for him in small bites, obviously a little cautious.

Zhou Yue also knew that he was not used to it, although the relationship between the two had eased a lot, but a few days ago, he had a psychological shadow caused by his limbs being severed, and he was very afraid that Gu Ruhai would find out what happened again, so he was always on tenterhooks and kept on guard all day long. Look, how can I care for the children well.

Now that Gu Ruhai is in seclusion, Gu Xuecheng has a completely new "identity", no longer a black household hiding in Tibet, he can finally let go of his hands and feet, care for the protagonist shou openly, and reduce the blackness value.

After a while, the last dish came up, and it was still covered with a lid.

Gu Xuecheng felt a little more at ease at this moment, and asked curiously, "What is this?"

"Of course you like it." Zhou Yue smiled mysteriously, and didn't keep it secret, and directly lifted the lid.

I saw five small brown sugar glutinous rice cakes neatly placed on the snow-white porcelain plate. These glutinous rice cakes were made extremely exquisitely. The golden and crisp shells were sprinkled with roasted peanuts, walnuts, and black sesame. It looks very attractive.

These glutinous rice cakes were prepared by Zhou Yue in advance, just to surprise Gu Xuecheng. After all, the reader sister said that this is the protagonist's favorite thing.

He proudly said: "I made this by myself. This time I added chopped walnuts and rock sugar. You can taste it."

Gu Ruxue opened her eyes wide: "You really... did you do it yourself?"

Zhou Yue said with a smile: "Yes, don't waste the fruits of my labor, eat it while it's hot."

Gu Xuecheng seemed a little at a loss, he hesitated for a while, and finally picked up a piece of glutinous rice cake with his chopsticks, and took a small bite.

The glutinous rice cakes are covered with crushed walnuts, crushed peanuts, and black sesame seeds. They are fried crispy and crispy. When you bite down, your teeth break through the crispy shell and sink into the soft and sticky glutinous rice. Then, the thick and sweet brown sugar Mouth overflowing.

Gu Xuecheng also ate glutinous rice cakes made by Zhou Yue before. At that time, he didn't know that the glutinous rice cakes were really made by Zhou Yue himself. In the mouth, the taste is very different, as if it is extra sweet.

Zhou Yue asked full of expectation: "Is it delicious?"

This is the brown sugar glutinous rice cake that he has carefully researched and improved many times. It is the only one in the world!

Gu Xuecheng whispered: "It's delicious."

Zhou Yue is overjoyed, the reader girl is right, the protagonist Shou really likes brown sugar glutinous rice cakes!

He quickly picked up another one and put it in Gu Xuecheng's bowl: "Eat more if you like it."

"Hmm." Gu Xuecheng drooped his slender, dark eyelashes, biting the glutinous rice cakes in small bites, his bulging snow-white cheeks moved, not to mention how well-behaved he was, and he was exactly the same as the cold and alert look before.

Zhou Yue looked at him carefully eating glutinous rice cakes, and couldn't help feeling sorry for him. Children have had a difficult life since they were young. They were so fragile and vigilant before, but now they trust themselves, and they become so obedient and so painful.

He said softly: "Eat slowly, don't worry. If you like it, I will keep making it for you."

Gu Xuecheng said softly: "Yes."

After dinner, Zhou Yue asked Bai Shu to take Gu Xuecheng to take a shower and change clothes, while she went to the East Wing to decorate the children's bedroom with her own hands.

Because Gu Xuecheng, the "distant relative" came to visit suddenly, Zhou Yue naturally had no reason to prepare things for him in advance, so she took the four treasures of the study from her room, hugged a thick brocade quilt, and found a Small and exquisite brass tompo.

Now it's just the beginning of February, and it's the time of the cold spring. A senior monk like myself who is a seven-turn golden elixir naturally doesn't feel cold, but a child hasn't formed a elixir yet, so keeping warm is still very important. Zhou Xiaoling, a girl, was very afraid of it when she was a child. cold.

Zhou Yue put away the four treasures of the study, laid out a thick brocade quilt carefully, stuffed the hot Mrs. Tang into the quilt, and put two fresh wintersweets in the vase by the bed, and then stood up in satisfaction.

At this time, the door creaked softly, Zhou Yue turned her head and saw that Gu Xuecheng was standing at the door, staring blankly at the furnished bedroom.

"Why are you wearing so little? It's cold outside, why don't you come in quickly." Zhou Yue quickly pulled him in.

The child has just finished bathing. He is wearing a thin white shirt, his hair is wet and steamy, his snow-white face is powdered, and his dark eyes are also moist. It seems that he has finally taken off the cold shell and revealed The appearance of a 13-year-old child.

"You're wearing too little, you'll catch a cold, hurry up and get into bed. Alas, you haven't dried your hair..."

Zhou Yue couldn't help but tuck Gu Xuecheng into the bed, gathered a little warm spiritual power in her palm, and gently combed the child's wet hair with her fingers, just like blow-drying Zhou Xiaoling's hair when she was a child.

In the flickering candlelight, Gu Xuecheng stared at Zhou Yue without blinking, his dark eyes sparkling.

Zhou Yue smiled and said, "Look at what I do, do you want me to tell you a bedtime story?"

"I didn't..." Gu Xuecheng came back to his senses, suddenly shy, and quickly buried his face in the quilt.

Zhou Yue secretly laughed until her stomach ached. She thought this child was so cute, and couldn't help but rubbed the other's black and soft hair: "Okay, I won't tease you, go to bed quickly. Take a rest for the next two days, In two days, I will take you to the Lake of Weeping Tears to see the story of our previous life."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Yue was about to get up, but found that the corner of her clothes was grabbed.

Gu Xuecheng was taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't expect that he would make such a childish move, so he quickly withdrew his hand.

Knowing that he didn't feel safe, Zhou Yue felt pity in her heart, and coaxed softly: "It's okay, I'm in the hall next door, if you need anything, just shout."

Gu Xuecheng pursed his lips: "Yes."

Watching Zhou Yue leave the bedroom, Gu Xuecheng pursed his lips, quietly tucked himself into the quilt, and inhaled carefully the faint scent of medicine on the brocade quilt, which was Zhou Yue's breath.

From childhood to adulthood, he has been living in fear. He has never felt so at ease, so warm, and so down-to-earth, as if his whole body is soaked in a warm hot spring, and even his heart is ironed and warm.

He tilted his head slightly, and looked at his own bedroom with the cold moonlight falling from the window. On the desk was a complete set of the Four Treasures of the Study, two fresh golden wintersweets were inserted in the vase, and a sachet to repel mosquitoes hung on the bedside. There was still hot soup in the quilt.

All of this was carefully prepared by that person for himself.That person tried his best to protect himself in front of Gu Ruhai, and he worked hard to plan for himself, gave himself a brand new identity, allowed him to stay in Lingxiao City to practice, and even prepared such a warm bedroom for himself.

He is like a real elder brother, like the ray of white moonlight that he has been looking forward to since he was a child.

And those slender and beautiful fingers, they slowly slid through his hair, helping him to dry his hair, and then the man smiled and said, take a good rest, and go to the Lake of Weeping in two days.

Thinking of Weeping Lake, Gu Xuecheng suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Before, he always felt that Zhou Yue was talking nonsense and making up some absurd stories to deceive himself, but now, he actually felt a little uneasy. Although he was also looking forward to knowing the story of his and Zhou Yue's past lives, he was also a little scared.

Zhou Yue said before that she should have a Panlong Jade Pendant, but she really doesn't have one.Just in case, what if I arrive at Mount Everest, and the past life story I see is not what Zhou Yue said...

I have a withdrawn and boring personality, neither can act like a baby, nor can I please. If there is no kindness from the previous life, will Zhou Yue still treat herself so well?

Gu Xuecheng's temperament has always been cold and withdrawn, he is extremely guarded, and even a little indifferent and suspicious. This is the first time in his life that he has tasted this kind of feeling of worrying about gains and losses. He has been tossing and turning until late at night. In the fragrance of the medicine, he fell asleep in a daze.
