[Shaoyin] like a short-lived epiphyllum

The author has something to say: This chapter is updated.Continue to update after two days of rest, don't worry!

So sorry!

But don’t hit me if you abuse me later~~~~(>_<)~~~~

Zhang Zi, who had been unable to move suddenly since the evening, kept listening to his intermittent breathing.Xue Ling hasn't come back yet, and Ayako doesn't know what happened.

After all, all the maids sent by Ayako to serve her passed out, unable to wake up.I thought that as long as I wait a little longer, the guards and handymen outside will notice the changes here and come to help.But no, the silence of the whole palace frightened her a little.

All I heard was my own heartbeat.

How to do……

If anything happened to her now, it would be irreparable.Whether it is the fate of the father or the fate of His Royal Highness Abe House Akiko, it will be messed up.

Who is there?

Help me, Chang Ho.

so afraid……

Zhang Zi closed his eyes, trembling helplessly.

Just as Zhang Zi was thinking like this, he suddenly felt his body regained his freedom. Although he was a little degraded and trembling, he was still very flexible.She breathed a sigh of relief, slowly sat up and looked around.

The maids beside the bed lay motionless on the ground, as if they had lost their lives.

Zhang Zi stood up and trotted over, put his cold fingers under the nose of a maid, and was relieved when he saw that he was still breathing weakly.At this moment, she heard a familiar voice, so familiar that she wanted to cry.

"...Is that...?"

Zhang Zi walked slowly towards the corridor, held his breath and opened the curtain.The heart was beating non-stop, as if it was about to jump out, and the door was slowly pushed open.There are several screens in the outer room. The screen opposite the screen was originally a screen door with a window, but it has been removed because it is summer.Now because of the lattice door, you can see the outside when you stand in front of the screen.

Will it be Chang Ho?Could it just be my hallucination?

It's okay, even if you're cheated...

Zhang Zi thought so, but the hand that was holding on to the coat was about to tear it apart.Peeking out from the gap in the screen.

>>>

"Are you really all right?"

Ayako supported Changhao, and asked worriedly.

"It's really not possible, you and the twelve god generals go back first, and then I will come."

"Aren't you weak right now? Can you hold on?"

"This is still possible."

Taking the bundle of demon hair in Changhao's hand, Ayako silently recited a few incantations and saw that it was burned to ashes by the golden flame.The next step is to restore the people here before Zhang Zi wakes up, and then send her to Abe House.

"Next..."

When Ayako was about to speak, she froze when she saw her when she looked towards Zhangzi.She thought that Zhang Zi should still be asleep now, but she didn't expect that she was already there when all these were done.

"stamp……"

When Changhao heard Ayako's words, he didn't care about his current situation, he suddenly looked up and saw the worried eyes of the girl behind the screen.

Seeing the girl he hadn't seen for a long time, Chang Hao felt as if time had stood still at this moment.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

Walking out of the latticed door of the dormitory, Zhang Zi's figure became clearer. The boy blinked his eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

That gaze was calm, soft, and warm.

"It's alright, so don't make that expression."

Chang Hao stood in front of Zhang Zi, with his arms outstretched and still smiling so warmly, which made Zhang Zi's feelings that he had been holding back surge up at this moment.She jumped over the railing, and Chang Hao hugged the girl's fragrant and soft body tightly in his arms. Compared with the last dream, she was obviously much thinner.

"Welcome back, Changhao."

"Well, I'm back."

Chang Hao closed his eyes and rubbed against Zhang Zi, the familiar scent deepened Chang Hao's smile.

This is the first time Zhang Zi met her not in a dream but in reality since Zhang Zi remembered the past.

Thinking of this, Chang Hao's heart beat violently.

He thought he would never see his childhood sweetheart before him again.

When Izumo, it was like a telepathy, when he was the most painful and uncomfortable, when he was so distressed that he couldn't breathe.The one who appeared in the dream gave him so much comfort, and one of the beliefs that made him persist in coming back to himself, who thought he would never come back, was the promise in the dream.

Seeing the two embracing each other in front of her, Ayako felt that the best medicine for them in this world was each other.

"His Highness Zhang Zi is almost here."

"Well, Xue Ling, Tianyi and Suzaku are escorting."

Hearing what the devil said, Ayako nodded and walked to them and said.

"Since you are awake, Zhang Zi, let me briefly tell you. You will go back to Abe House with them to rest for a few days, and His Highness Zhang Zi will stay in Tuyumen Palace instead of you. Don't worry, Xue Ling and I will be here." Now, she'll be fine."

"is this okay?"

"His Highness Zhang Zi also agreed, you just go back to accompany Aunt Xue and Junko."

Looking at the Tuyumen Hall behind him, and then looking at Changhao, he nodded and said that this is also a good choice. After all, Zhang Zi is already weak and sick, and it is difficult to worry about it after such a toss recently.

Seeing that Changhao also nodded in agreement, Zhang Zi also agreed.Although it is summer now, the wind at night is still a bit cold after all, and her current dress is not suitable for going out.After letting Changhao let go, Ayako took Zhang Zi to the house to change into more convenient clothes.After changing, he asked her to walk back with them after a few more words.

It was also the first time for Zhang Zi to come out at night, looking at the miscellaneous monsters that suddenly appeared around him, and the white body that was being suppressed.

"Your Highness, you are finally home!"

"That's right! We still want to eat the sakura cake made by Your Highness!"

"It tastes delicious!"

The demon king who was crushed below felt that he was about to explode, it was the second time!The second time on top of him!

"Hey! Come down quickly!"

Seeing the devil in such a state, Changhao beside him who was giggling, and Gouzhen and Liuhe who were holding back a smile but kept shaking their shoulders, Zhang Zi blinked and rescued the devil from inside with a smile asked later.

"This... is what you call 'Taishan Overwhelming'?"

"Yeah, I usually suppress my grandson!"

"Yes, but he can't see now!"

Can't see?what happened?

"Don't call me grandson! I'm so sorry, I can see you all very clearly now."

Chang Hao yelled reflexively, causing Zhang Zi to calm down instantly and observe Chang Hao carefully. His clothes were damaged in some places, and there were also large and small injuries on his body.And if he said that, it was true that he had never seen it.

Zhang Zi's face turned pale, and the miscellaneous monsters who noticed her spoke.

"What's the matter with you, Your Highness?"

"Don't you want to live with your grandson?"

"I told you not to call me grandson!"

Chang Hao, who roared again, decided not to pay attention to them, and turned to look at Zhang Zi worriedly. Under the moonlight, Zhang Zi's complexion was indeed not good.

"What's wrong? Is there any discomfort?"

Zhang Zi shook his head, stretched out a hand to hold Chang Hao's hand tightly.

"It's always like this. I am well protected at home, but you are covered with scars. Even Grandpa Seimei fell ill in bed because of it."

Zhang Zi, who was silent, suddenly said this sentence, and Chang Hao's face immediately changed when he heard the words.

"How can you say that! Obviously Akira is the one!"

Always without him knowing, she has been suffering in obscurity... Even because of his fault, Zhang Zi was cursed by a foreign demon, causing her to enter the cold palace to replace her Zhang Zi became a barnacle female imperial concubine.

"……sorry……"

Chang Hao heard Zhang Zi bowed his head and apologized, and tried to say something, but because he was too nervous, he couldn't say anything.

The surrounding air is getting heavier.Suddenly, a calm and sharp voice broke the solemnity.

"Although I'm sorry, it's not too late to go back and talk about the flirting. It's very cold here. And Seimei is at home waiting for you to go back."

"Uh, yes, let's go home first, I have something to give you when we get back."

Holding Zhang Zi's hand tightly, Chang Hao's face turned slightly red.The heat from the palm made Zhang Zi raise his head to look at him, looking at Chang Hao who dared not look at her, she pursed her lips and smiled.

"Well... I'm back..."

Zhang Zi's smile has always been his light, and Chang Hao thinks so every time he sees such a smile.It was because of such a warm smile like the sun that he would have fallen.

"Welcome home, Zhangzi."

>>>

After returning to Abe's house, Zhang Zi and Chang Hao went directly to Seimei's room, opened the door and went in when time allowed.But when he saw Qingming half-sitting on the mattress, Zhang Zi opened his eyes wide and bit his lower lip tightly to hold back the tears.

"Zhang Zi, is your body okay? Really, how can you keep her from waking up like you!"

Zhang Zi hurriedly shook his head.

"It's not Changhao's fault, it's what I need. My body is already much better, so don't worry."

"yes."

Qingming smiled and beckoned, Zhang Zi stood up, walked to Qingming and sat down beside Qingming, Qingming put his hand on Zhang Zi's head and stroked her hair.

"Welcome back, Zhangzi."

"Well, I'm back."

With a sore nose, Zhang Zi cried in a low voice.It must have been suppressed for a long time in that palace, after all, she was once so weak and so crying.

After venting all, Zhang Zi cried slightly, and wanted to stay and take care of Seimei before returning to the room.

This little injury is nothing, no big deal.Qingming on the sickbed insisted on letting Zhang Zi go back, and repeatedly promised that he would have a good rest, although the eyes of the generals behind him seemed to be distrustful.

Going back to the room I lived in before, I saw that there was no trace of dust and some books in it.It seems that His Royal Highness Zhangzi is living a good life here, which made Zhang Zi feel relieved.

"I'm fine now, Changhao, you should go back to sleep early, you only have a little time."

Seeing Chang Hao who was preparing for something after the quilt was laid, Zhang Zi hurriedly stopped him.We must let him go back to bed early, otherwise it would be bad to affect his schedule tomorrow!

"Hmm...Okay. By the way, just wait for me."

Chang Hao, who couldn't resist Zhang Zi, put down his clothes and asked her to wait here for a while before leaving the room.Although Zhang Zi was puzzled, he still stared obediently.

Chang Hao didn't keep Zhang Zi waiting too long, and came back after a while, holding a small leather bag in his hand.Sitting down in front of Zhang Zi, Chang Hao pursed his lips and loosened the rope on the leather bag.

"On the way back, I passed a place called Tamaku, and I saw it there..."

Pull out a leather rope with a small piece of jade on it, put it on the palm of your hand and hand it to Zhang Zi.

"Sorry, not as good as the ones you received..."

It was a round agate, small, almost orange-red with white streaks on it.Indeed, compared to those given by the emperor or the people in the harem, they are not particularly good ornaments.

The small ball jade is about three centimeters in diameter, with a hole in the middle, and decorative jade strings on both sides. The leather rope is thin, washed white, and is no more than a foot long. It should be an ornament tied to the wrist or ankle.

"If you don't want..."

"I want!"

Changhao was frightened when he heard Zhang Zi suddenly raised his volume, and Zhang Zi also realized the gaffe just now, his face flushed instantly and he lowered his head.

"Bi, after all, you gave it to me, and I will treasure it carefully."

Looking at Zhang Zi in front of him with his head bowed, and that stammering voice and those pink ears exposed outside, Chang Hao felt as if he had eaten honey, which was so sweet to his heart.

"Hmm! I'm still worried about what gift to choose, after all, it's the first time I choose by myself..."

Chang Hao helped Zhang Zi wear it on his wrist. He was indeed worried because of this, while his elder brother who already had a wife sighed helplessly.

"I think Zhang Zi will like it as long as you choose it carefully."

At that time, he answered vaguely, but immediately reacted and asked why the married couple knew that he was giving a chapter.At the time of marriage, he stared at him with strange eyes, his face slightly pale.

"Aren't you with Zhang Zi yet? Or are you in love with someone else?!"

"No no no!!"

At that time, he shook his head like a rattle and retorted loudly.

"That's good."

After finishing his speech, he went to choose a gift for his wife, although he didn't see what gift he picked.

how can that be possible.Apart from Zhang Zi, he couldn't imagine that he fell in love with anyone other than Zhang Zi, even Fujiwara Akiko, who had the same appearance and voice, was no exception.There are still differences, they are not the same person after all.

"Agate is used to ward off evil spirits, so I thought it would be good for you. And it's very beautiful. Although the red color is very light, Zhang Zi, your skin is fair, and it looks really good when matched with me."

Zhang Zi nodded, and put the hand wearing the ornament on her chest. She will definitely cherish this gift.Then she thought of something and asked Changhao to bow his head, and Changhao did as well.

"Grandpa Seimei taught me a spell when he gave this to me back then. Even though I saw you in a dream, I was still very worried about your life over there..."

"Eh?……"

Chang Hao had a surprised expression on his face, and then something around his neck was gently put on.The tangy scent told him what it was.

"The rope was broken once when you were out of the clouds. Then I was afraid that the effect would be lost, so I changed the aromatherapy inside a little bit. But the effect will be better than before!"

Chang Hao stared blankly at the sachet on his chest.Just now Zhang Zi said that she had a dream, and he was in that dream, so what happened in that dream...

"Changhao, your face is very red, are you uncomfortable?"

Changhao shook his head, and stretched out his hand to hold the girl tightly in his arms.

"I also... had that dream..."

Zhang Zi opened his eyes slightly when he heard this sentence, and then nodded.

"It's really warm, a dream so warm that people don't want to wake up."

But now she is smiling beside her, and it warms her heart even more than before.

Xu was too tired, in such a warm embrace, Zhang Zi really couldn't beat the drowsiness and fell asleep.When Chang Hao heard the sound of even breathing coming from his ear, he was a little dumbfounded for a moment, and moved his neck slightly without waking her up.

Seeing that she was still frowning while she was asleep, Chang Hao stroked her head distressedly, just like how she comforted him when she was young.

"I'm here and I won't leave you."

Perhaps the consolation had an effect, and Zhang Zi's frown gradually relaxed.

"Master Changhao, let me change the clothes for Master Zhangzi."

Tianyi appeared and sat kneeling aside, Chang Hao nodded and put Zhang Zi carefully into Tianyi's arms.But when he left, he was grabbed by the sleeve, and he was helpless and didn't know what to do.

Tianyi and Gouzhen couldn't help laughing when they saw such a scene.

The sound of the bell came from nowhere, and Zhang Zi let go of his sleeve.A small 'human' sprang out from the hair accessory, and she stretched herself shaking her little wings.

"Six cherry blossoms!"

"Yes! Master Changhao!"

"Since they are here, Changhao, go back to sleep."

Chang Hao nodded, took one last look at Zhang Zi's sleeping face, opened the door and went out.

Finally home.

As I said, I will always be by your side.

protect you and cherish you.
