worn after Zha Shouzuo's death

In the afternoon, Song Ci asked Ji Huai to take a nap with him. Ji Huai originally wanted to take advantage of Song Ci's sleeping time to deal with work, but when Ji Huai didn't sleep, Song Ci insisted on watching TV to accompany him. Eyelids are so sleepy that they are fighting.

Ji Huai took care of him last night and didn't sleep much all night, and playing with him again today must have exhausted his physical strength. Song Ci was worried that Ji Huai's body would not be able to bear it, so he wanted Ji Huai to sleep for a while.

The two confronted each other silently for a while. Although they didn't say anything, they both knew what the other meant.

In the end Ji Huai gave up, put down his phone, and agreed to sleep with Song Ci.

Before rolling on the bed, Song Ci went to draw the curtains and then got on the bed.

Ji Huai was very quiet when he slept, with his eyes closed and his breathing even.

Song Ci lay down beside him for a while, and after feeling that Ji Huai was fast asleep, he moved over little by little and leaned into his arms.

After lying in the position he wanted, Song Ci raised the corners of his mouth contentedly, and went to see Duke Zhou in peace.

Ji Huai originally wanted to get up while Song Ci fell asleep, but Song Ci hugged his arm. If he got up, Song Ci would definitely notice.

Song Ci doesn't know how he developed this sensitivity. As long as Ji Huai is by his side, even if he falls asleep, he seems to be secretly paying attention to him. can wake him up.

Ji Huai looked at the ceiling silently for a while, then turned sideways and pulled his arms out. Song Ci frowned and struggled for a while. Patted on the back.

Song Ci's sleeping face stretched out again, and he seemed to be very familiar with this posture, and habitually arched towards Ji Huai twice, slipped his head into his arms, and then put his head on his. Near the chest, it was completely quiet after that, and fell asleep.

Seeing his series of actions, Ji Huai wanted to laugh a little.

He put his hand on the back of Song Ci's head, rubbed it gently, then lowered his head, kissed Song Ci's forehead, and said in a low voice, "Good afternoon, Song Xiaoci."

Song Ci has never given him a clear statement about who he is. Today Ji Huai took the opportunity to ask, and Song Ci seemed to respond and gave him a hint, but it was only a hint.

In front of Ji Huai... he still has concerns.

Ji Huai is patient, he will wait slowly until he fully opens up to him, until he can believe that his liking for him will not be shaken just because of who he is.

There will always be a day like that.

— there will always be.

Neither of them set an alarm clock, and they slept until six o'clock in the evening before waking up.

After sleeping for more than two hours, Song Ci woke up dizzy and his head hurt a little. He hugged Ji Huai and lay on the bed for a while, and then the two got up, ready to go shopping on Qiandeng Street.

It's almost evening, and the sky is filled with dark red and light red, intertwined together, like a pot of thick ink, and soaked in the water, very beautiful.

Song Ci likes all kinds of snacks, and buys whatever is new and interesting, but usually after two or three mouthfuls, he is attracted by other things, and happily buys them again.

So Ji Huai had to donate his two hands to help this little ancestor who had changed his mind to get snacks, and he didn't stop him, he just bought whatever he liked.

Song Ci was finally attracted by a small stall selling stones.

There were not many people at the stone stall. Song Ci squatted next to the stall, looking at the colorful pebbles on the stall. These stones were colorful, different in shape, and all kinds of strange things.

A mother-in-law moved a small bench and sat behind the booth, watching the guests pick stones with a smile on her face.

These stones not only have strange shapes and colors, but what's more interesting is that they are all in pairs.

Song Ci picked up two stones at random, raised his head and asked the old woman, "Excuse me, why are these two stones kept together?"

"This is the Concentric Stone." The old lady sat still, her voice was soft and slow, "There is a legend about the Concentric Stone."

Song Ci became interested: "Oh?"

He glanced back, and saw that Ji Huai was standing not far away, holding a bunch of food in his hand, queuing up to buy ice cream for him.

Because the aura around him is very different from others, so the people who lined up behind and behind him all have a certain distance from him.

Song Ci wanted to laugh, and when he turned his head, he heard the old woman say leisurely: "It is said that there was a princess on this island a long, long time ago. Her name was Joyce. She came from thousands of miles away to ask for a marriage proposal, but the princess was so proud that she didn't like any of them. But one day, a powerful demon came to the island. He burned, killed, looted, did all kinds of evil, and finally kidnapped Joe. Joyce was his wife. On the day of their wedding, a man fell from the sky and saved the princess and the whole country. Joyce and the man fell in love at first sight and fell in love with each other, but the king didn't like him. The king thought that The man has no ability at all and is not worthy of his daughter, but he can't stand the princess's stubbornness, so he reluctantly agrees to set a checkpoint for the man. He tells the man that he has to cross the volcano, step over the snow ridge, and fight the ultimate battle. A brave monster, conquering the most ferocious mount, being able to go to the sky and escape from the earth, and picking the eternal flower that symbolizes pure love in this world, only then agreed to his marriage with the princess."

This is a fairy tale.

Song Ci didn’t know how many fairy tales he had heard since he was a child, but they were all told by his mother when he was very young when he was coaxing him to sleep. , Song Ci heard the fairy tale again, and couldn't help but feel a little novel.

The surrounding guests all left at some point, only Song Ci and the old lady remained.

The two squatted and sat, looking at each other from a short distance away.

The old woman stared at him deeply, her face was covered with wrinkles, but her eyes were pure and bottomless, with a strange blue color, like a piece of sapphire.

Song Ci blinked: "What happened next?"

"In order to get the marriage with the princess, the brave knight agreed. Before leaving, he gave the princess a stone and told her that if she misses him, she can look at the stone, as long as the stone is still there. , he will be able to find the way back to her. The man travels through many worlds and goes through hardships to find the flower of love in a dangerous and inaccessible place. The king began to investigate the man's background, but he searched all over the world. There is no news about him in the entire continent, he seems to have descended from the sky, with no reason, no past, and no one can see his future."

Song Ci was a little fascinated: "Ah..."

He scratched his hair and looked at her curiously: "What about the ending? Are they together in the end?"

The old woman's voice slowed down: "The man picked the flowers at last, but he couldn't find the way back. The devil snatched the stone away, so the man took the flowers and began to search from world to world, and finally found the princess. In the world where I live, I live happily with the princess."

Song Ci looked at the stones on the ground: "So this is the concentric stone left by the princess and her husband when they parted?"

The old woman nodded her head, her eyes drifted away: "Yes."

She picked up two stones from the ground and handed them to Song Ci: "Buy two, maybe you will use them later."

At this moment, Song Ci didn't know what he was thinking, staring at the two ordinary white stones in the old woman's hand, as if driven by a devil, he looked at the two small stones, and said very slowly A good word.

The old woman threaded the stone on the thread and handed it to him.

After Song Ci paid the money, he stood there stupidly holding two stones.

It wasn't until Ji Huai bought the ice cream and came over to pat him on the shoulder that Song Ci recovered from his dazed state.

Ji Huai handed him the ice cream and looked around: "What are you doing standing here?"

"I was shopping for stones just now, and an old woman told me fairy tales." Song Ci smiled at him, took a bite of the ice cream, and pointed to his right, "This is it..."

But when he turned his head, he was taken aback suddenly.

Where are the old women and the stalls selling stones? On his right, there is clearly a stall selling jewelry.

"Hey?" Song Ci turned his head and looked around in disbelief as if he had seen a ghost, but on the bustling street, there was a stream of people rubbing shoulders, and there were so many people coming and going. There was no trace of the old lady.

Song Ci then frowned and turned his head back. After thinking for a while, he smiled again, looked at Ji Huai with crooked eyes, and called him: "Ji Huai."

As night fell, hundreds of thousands of lanterns were all lit up at this moment, illuminating the entire street. Looking down from above, it looked like an inverted Milky Way.

The stars are dotted and sparkling.

Ji Huai looked at Song Ci.

All the hustle and bustle and drum noise around the two of them seemed to go away in the short second of looking at each other, and disappeared like flowing water.

The long wind slid across the distant sky, mixed with the faintness reflected by the long lamp, whistling past the two of them, and drifted away without looking back.

The black broken hair on Song Ci's forehead fluttered in the wind, and his black eyes were filled with smiles. He was pretending to be Ji Huai's figure. Against the background of the light, his cheeks were soft and curved, and his facial features were exquisite. It looks like an ancient ink painting.

He just stared at Ji Huai for a while, and suddenly smiled at him. Immediately, he stood on tiptoe a little, and hung a concentric stone in his hand around Ji Huai's neck. After that, he didn't leave immediately, but paused for a while, Song Ci stopped in Ji Huai's ear, as if whispering: "Ji Huai, I got a baby."

Ji Huai stood where he was, resisting the urge to reach out and hug him, but felt his ears go numb, as if an electric current had passed through him.

Song Ci said softly: "Put on this stone, and you will be locked by me, and we will never be separated again."

Song Ci took a step back, licked a mouthful of ice cream, and tilted his head to look at him with a smile: "Ji Huai, I find that I seem to like you more and more."

I like it so much... Even an ordinary stone, after being disguised as a romantic fairy tale by a liar, I want to hold it in front of Ji Huai and show it to him happily.

What can I do if this goes on.

Song Ci ate another mouthful of ice cream, and was about to continue walking, but someone suddenly grabbed his wrist.

Because of inertia, Song Ci crashed into the embrace behind him.

Song Ci was stunned for a while, then looked up at Ji Huai.

Ji Huai looked down at him as well, with a hoarse voice: "...Is the ice cream sweet?"

Song Ci paused for a while, as if to answer his words, took another bite of ice cream, and then nodded solemnly: "A little bit..."

It's a little sweet, but also a little bit bitter. He wants the matcha flavor.

But before he finished speaking, Ji Huai stretched out his hand, tightly wrapped his arms around his waist, and pulled him even tighter into his arms. Then, he lowered his head and kissed Song Ci bit by bit.

Song Ci froze.

For a long time, he could only feel his heart beating faster and faster, as if it was about to explode.

The blood boiled and swam in the blood vessels, rushing to the cheeks and earlobes, dyeing them crimson.

The soles of Song Ci's feet were weak, and his hands were hanging down. He didn't even notice when the ice cream fell to the ground.

As if there was a transparent membrane separating the two people from the outside world, they hugged each other and kissed selflessly among the bustling crowd.

At this moment, time has no end, and the long street seems to have no end.

The stars, long lanterns, and night wind all turned into the background and slipped past their fingertips.

The gentle night, the intimate kiss, the intertwined fingers, under the cover of the cloth, the sound of the heartbeat that changed from frenzy to calm, and the sweetness between each other's lips, all of them were frozen and turned into the deepest candy in the memory.
