lotus pond

Chapter 5

Su Huanzhen came back with Yinzi from a tour, and felt that the atmosphere in Wulian Terrace seemed a little depressing. The other two Su Huanzhen, one was drinking tea, and the other was staring at the lotus pond outside the window in a daze. Can't tell who's who.

"It's getting late, Su Mou is doing his best to be a landlord, so I'm going to prepare dinner, please wait a moment, both of you." He said, pulling the name Su Zhenzhen, who had lived with him for decades, up to the direction of the kitchen Walk.

Su Huanzhen pulled his partner into the kitchen, cooking was of course fake, how did the two of them know how to cook.Sure enough, the other person said very disapprovingly, "Are you kidding me?"

"People come from afar, do you want to make them hungry?"

Another Su Zhenzhen held his chest: "Do you think he will have expectations of his cooking skills?"

"You really have no confidence in me."

"I know you too well!"

Su Zhenzhen snorted softly: "I pulled you here because I saw you were in a bad mood. What, did you lose the game?"

"How is it possible? Naturally, I won."

"Then why are you unhappy?" Now Su really didn't understand.

I saw the other person pursed his lips tightly, and there was also a puzzled look in his eyes: "I'm just..." But just what?He couldn't say it, he just didn't feel very happy.

Obviously it was only one-third of his size, but he seemed to be admonishing him as a matter of course. He looked at his companion who was about to start making dinner, and suddenly asked: "If one day, my life is in danger..."

"Pfft, don't make trouble, who can beat you."

Su Zhenzhen's face darkened, and he scolded: "You have no conscience, you have kept you for so many years for nothing."

After the food was served on the table, the four of them stared at the dark things on the table, but none of them moved their chopsticks.

"I'm bigu." This was said by the white-clothed Su Zhenzhen, and after he finished speaking, he left the table, another person who was familiar with him immediately went to pull his clothes: "Please save face." He didn't see him either. How to move, dodged lightly and deftly, and walked to the side to watch the show with his chest in his arms.

The black-clothed Suzhenzhen who wanted to stop him saw that his companion had slipped away, so he blinked his big eyes and looked at the other Suzhenzhen who was left behind: "My dear other half, I personally cook for you Do it, eat more."

"Cough..." Yinzi beside him couldn't help coughing lightly to cover up the laughter that escaped his lips.

"Sumou...not hungry..."

"Try even if you're not hungry."

Being looked at with such expectant eyes, Su Zhenzhen would not refuse at first, but he really knew that he didn't have the talent in this area, so he asked for help like a third person watching the theater, but the person said: : "Your avatar is so earnest, how can you bear to let him down?"

Smiling stiffly, Su Zhenzhen looked at Yinzi again, Yinzi stretched out his chopsticks and poked at the black lump, and said mercilessly: "It's hard work to live on this for so many years."

"Su Mou has been bigu for many years, it's okay."

"Try it too." Su Zhenzhen, who made this plate of "things", looked at Yinzi expectantly.Yinzi laughed dryly: "I have been bigu for many years."

Seeing that no one had the courage to try it, the producer also sighed: "Forget it, Su gives up." He was also very self-aware, and directly took out the black thing and dumped it.When I came back after packing up, I saw a group of people sitting around drinking tea and chatting.

"...For so many years, haven't you thought about taking one and a half apprentices to take care of the food?" Su really didn't understand that he didn't accept apprentices because he was afraid that the vendettas surrounding him would implicate other people, but this time In such a peaceful place, don't they have such thoughts?

"Well...it's not like it's never happened, it's just..."

The topic was interrupted: "Just because someone is really difficult to get along with."

Su in white clothes really retorted indifferently: "It's just because someone has such a bad mouth."

"Who do you think has a bad mouth?"

"Whoever responds, I will say who."

Seeing the two arguing again, Su Zhenzhen felt dizzy, but the content of the quarrel between the two was quite naive. No wonder Cuihuan Mountain does not allow outsiders to enter the mountain.He secretly glanced at Yinzi, but saw that he was watching with relish, and realized that Su Zhenzhen was looking at him, and even smiled at him.

"I can understand that this is one of the few entertainments they usually have?" Yinzi said leisurely, and he took a special look at Su Zhenzhen: "It's really creative to quarrel with yourself."

Su Zhenzhen's face darkened: "What I said seems to have nothing to do with you."

"Hmph, now you know you admit me?"

Su really didn't speak anymore.The two of them were quarreling, and it could be seen that their relationship was very good. Although life was plain, they were very comfortable.Such a scene actually made him envious: "Would you like to return to peace with me?"

Yinzi was silent for a while, and said: "It is impossible for you and me to return to peace."

Su Huanzhen's expression darkened, indeed, this place does not belong to their time and space, the two people in front of them only belong to this place.He will go back after all, and take one of them out of this peace, and fall into the world of mortals with him.

"Can't bear it?" Yinzi whispered in his ear, "You are too sentimental."

Su Zhenzhen looked at him, and his eyes had returned to calm: "Although Su can't bear it, he will not back down from what he should do. I will not give you this opportunity."

"Really?" Yin Yinzi smiled and said, "It's painful to make such a decision." He stretched out his hand to hold Su Huan's hair: "Feelings are your burden, I really pity you .”

Su Zhenzhen patted Yinzi's hand away, and was about to speak, when he found that the other two had calmed down and looked at them, he wondered, "What's wrong?"

The two of them answered at the same time: "Nothing."

The four chatted with each other about the differences in their respective realms, and they were all amazed when they said it. In a blink of an eye, it was already halfway through the night.Seeing that it was late, several people went back to their houses to rest.The two guests slept in the guest room, and walked along the same path, while the master room was separated from it by a whole courtyard, at the other corner of Wulian Terrace.There were only two people left, and Yinzi picked up the interrupted topic again and said, "Su Zhenzhen, I don't want to fight to the death with you, isn't it good now?"

This time, Su really didn't refute him immediately, but just sighed softly: "It's not that Su doesn't want to coexist with you, you know where our differences lie."

Yinzi curled his lips, he naturally knew.The Holy Demon Yuanshi, what Su really minded was the power of the Holy Demon Yuanshi in his body.However, he is confident that he can control Yuanshi and use it for him, but Su Huanzhen is unwilling to accept it.In the final analysis, Su Zhenzhen was too sentimental, and he was unwilling to use a simpler and more effective way to deal with the problem when he was bound by feelings. It was his feelings that dragged him down.

As passionate as he was to others, he was so ruthless to him—the other half of the same fruit.

Yinzi snorted softly, and said: "Suzhenzhen, your sentimentality will kill you one day." Hearing what he said, Suzheng stopped, and Yinzi also stopped. down.

"I know." Su Zhenzhen said: "Su Mou has always been very clear. To achieve the same goal, there can be many paths, simple and direct, or roundabout. Although the end result may be the same, the different paths are different. There will be different consequences. The simple and direct ones may transform the avoidable sacrifices, while the roundabout ones may cause variables that cannot be grasped due to the complexity of the process. All these are clear. It’s just that when faced with a choice , I cannot remain indifferent to the sacrifice, I can only choose the method that makes me feel at ease."

"That's why I pity you." Yinzi said, but his expression was not as sarcastic as usual, and his usually arrogant and indifferent face showed a bit of emotion: "Su Zhenzhen...you know, your passion is my fault." The place where I sympathize with you the most is also the place where I envy you the most. But why do you put all your passion on other people, but why are you so unfeeling to me? Is it because of the qualities I have-those indifference, unfeeling , iron and blood... are all things you want to abandon? And I, is that part of yourself that you hate the most? Why do you deny me like this?"

Su Zhenzhen looked at him, he wanted to refute, but couldn't open his mouth.What Yinzi said is wrong, he doesn't hate Yinzi, but he can't say it out, maybe part of his disagreement with Yinzi is due to his denial of another cold self, but it's not all.When facing Yinzi, that feeling was not disgust, but another kind of unspeakable sadness—even Su Zhenzhen couldn't explain why this sadness came from, he just felt sad.I feel sad for such a Yinzi, and I also feel sad for myself.

"Don't look at me like this." Yinzi suddenly stretched out his hand to cover Su Huanzhen's eyes: "Your eyes make me feel strange, this is not the look I expected." He leaned over and put his lips on Su Huanzhen's face. Really on the cheek: "I want you to look at me, your affection can only be placed on me alone, not such sad eyes..."

The tip of his tongue tasted bitter and salty.
