Ji Chaoyun didn't even think about it, he decisively retracted one leg that was hanging down from the bed into the quilt, and lay back as if nothing had happened.
Feng Qi was amused by his actions and laughed out loud: "How about pretending, who wears so much to sleep?"
Ji Chaoyun's ears burned red, he stared at the gauze above his head, and gritted his teeth lightly: "Didn't you go out?"
Feng Qi: "I'm worried about you. How can I leave without seeing how your health is?" Feng Qi asked, "Tell me, why are you pretending to be sick?"
"..."
Ji Chaoyun pursed his lips, wishing to dig a hole to bury himself for the first time.
He didn't have many opportunities to lie with others in his life, and he never had the experience of lying and being exposed in person. The psychological impact can be imagined.
Feng Qi knew that he was thin-skinned, so he stopped teasing him and looked back at the scroll on the table: "Are you studying the illusion of Huan Mingjian?"
Ji Chaoyun sat up and replied softly, "Yeah."
"Understood." Feng Qi nodded, "You were lost in the illusory mirror yesterday, and you have no clue, so you simply don't go today. You want to find a way to solve it yourself, right?"
Ji Chaoyun defaults.
Feng Qi bent his knuckles and tapped the book on the table: "Is it useful?"
"It doesn't have much effect." Ji Chaoyun leaned on the head of the bed, shook his head and said, "Hua Mingjian reflects the weakness of people's hearts. The premise of all solutions is to overcome this, otherwise it will be difficult. I don't even have a cultivation base in the Huan Mingjian, what else? ?"
"What did you see in that fantasy?"
"I… "
Ji Chaoyun lowered his eyes and did not answer.
He saw that Feng Xiao was tortured by the demonic poison and could not be freed. Seeing the cruel truth told by the king for him come true, Xianyu will always be attached to the devil. Seeing... The man in black who couldn't see clearly pushed him to a desperate situation step by step, pain and fear went hand in hand.
Those fragmented pictures appeared in front of Ji Chaoyun's eyes again.
The overly realistic picture made his body tremble uncontrollably. He subconsciously clenched the quilt on his body, and his fingertips left folds on the soft quilt.
"Okay, don't be afraid." Feng Qi walked to the side of the bed at some point, and gently pulled his hand out, carefully wrapping the other's icy fingertips with his warm palm.
Ji Chaoyun pursed his lips and said softly after a long time: "I didn't lie on purpose, I just... I don't want to go into that illusion anymore, I don't want to see those... "
He has never escaped anything along the way, but this is the only thing he really doesn't want to experience again.
Feng Qi sighed, his subordinates suddenly exerted force and pulled the person into his arms: "When will you realize that you are not alone now."
Ji Chaoyun was startled.
"When you are afraid, uncomfortable, and don't know what to do, is it so difficult for you to show weakness to others?"
"..."
Feng Qi pressed the back of Ji Chaoyun's head, stretched out his arms and hugged him tightly, sliding his fingers through his hair: "So you should know why I hate Feng Xiao so much, how could he leave you alone in this world? , you don't even dare to ask for help now. That bastard, how could he be willing... "
Ji Chaoyun's eyes suddenly turned red.
His hand was clinging to the other's sleeve, trying to push the person in front of him away, but he couldn't get that strength no matter what.
After a long time, Ji Chaoyun muttered: "I didn't blame him."
"I know, you never blame him." Feng Qi whispered, "I just blame myself a little."
He complained about why he didn't meet him earlier, and why he couldn't bring him back before everything happened and be careful by his side.
Ji Chaoyun asked gently, "...Why do you say that?"
"It's nothing, it's fine if you don't understand." Feng Qi lightly stroked his back twice and said, "Remember later, no matter what you encounter, you can tell me that you are not allowed to lock yourself up and feel uncomfortable, you know?"
"Feng Qi..."
"Well, what?"
"...It's fine." Ji Chaoyun broke free from his arms and said, "Thank you, I'm much better. It's still early, I'll go back to class."
Feng Qi raised his eyebrows to look at him: "Then you are not afraid of illusions?"
"..."
Feng Qi rubbed his hair and said with a smile, "I've already asked for leave, what are you going to do when you go back? Pack up, and I'll take you down the mountain to play."
The market town at the foot of Hongmeng Mountain is extraordinarily lively today. The sky has not yet darkened, and many red lanterns have been hung all over the city. From a distance, there is a sense of celebration.
In this way, it will be more similar to the mortal world.
"Why is it so lively here today?" Ji Chaoyun asked.
Feng Qi was also surprised: "I don't know, maybe it's a festival in the world. Those people in the mortal world have a festival every few days. There are too many, how can I remember it."
Feng Qi had only been to the human world a few times since he was born, and they were all just for experience. However, Ji Chaoyun only cared about his schoolwork these days, and he had long forgotten what day it is in the world now.
The two entered the city on foot.
People come and go in the street market, and hawkers set up stalls on both sides of the road. In addition to the usual panacea and magic tools from the fairy family, there are more gadgets brought from the world.
Ji Chaoyun stopped unconsciously, and turned his head to look at a peddler beside him who was selling wooden puppets.
He has seen this kind of puppet in the mortal world, and it is not a rare thing, but it is rare to see it in the fairyland, so there are many people in front of the hawker's booth.
Feng Qi followed his gaze and looked over: "What's the matter, do you want it?"
"No, I was just thinking..." Ji Chaoyun paused and asked seriously, "You said that if I go to the mortal world next time, I will bring back some of these little things, can I sell them?"
"..." Feng Qi was about to laugh at him, unable to laugh or cry, "You've lost your money."
Worried that in a while, Ji Chaoyun should come up and talk to the hawker about how to get rich, and Feng Qi hurriedly dragged him forward. While walking, Ji Chaoyun turned back reluctantly, with a bit of sourness in his words: "This thing only sells for a few cents in the mortal world..."
Feng Qi was helpless and coaxed: "Then next time we go to the mortal world, I'll help you get some back?"
"we?"
"Why, you don't want to go with me?" Feng Qi said, "After the second quarter exam, you can ask Immortal Venerable to practice in the lower realm. What's the point of being bored in the academy all day long? Merit, the speed of cultivation and diligence is no worse than your daily penance."
"Then why do you want to go down?"
"I... I naturally went to play." Feng Qi said confidently, "You are familiar with the mortal world, wouldn't it be best to ask you to lead the way?"
Ji Chaoyun couldn't refute what he said. Ji Chaoyun opened his mouth, but he didn't refuse. At this time, someone was selling candied haws on the street, and Ji Chaoyun's eyes were immediately attracted.
This kind of candy has always been the most popular among children. Several immortal children surrounded the stall selling candied haws and scrambled to grab it.
Ji Chaoyun pursed his lips and looked back sadly.
Feng Qi tilted his head to look at his appearance, whispered "Wait for me", and walked straight to the booth.
After a while, he came back holding a bunch of candied haws. Feng Qi stood in front of Ji Chaoyun, did not give him directly, but tilted his head and smiled at him: "Do you want it?"
"..."
With a smile in Feng Qi's eyes, he deliberately said: "Speak, if you don't speak, I will throw it away, and I won't give it to you."
They are now standing in the middle of the market, surrounded by dense crowds, although they did not notice them, but Ji Chaoyun always had a sense of embarrassment exposed in front of everyone's eyes.
Ji Chaoyun looked around, then looked at the candy Feng Qi was about to throw, and whispered, "…Yes."
"That's good." Feng Qi handed the candied haws to him, but he didn't let go, his fingertips swiped lightly over the other's fingers, and said in a low voice, "Just now at Wenqufeng, what I said was not complete. Not only Tell me when you are uncomfortable, you can tell me what you want and like, don't be bored in your heart, okay?"
Ji Chaoyun was uncomfortable with his eyes, and looked away: "I... I don't really want to... "
"It's okay, I'm happy to buy it for you." Feng Qi said warmly, "Other people have children, and obedient Xiaolong will naturally have them."
"Feng Qi..."
Feng Qi lowered his eyes and smiled, all the tender emotions in his eyes were hidden by this action, and his expression returned to normal.
He took Ji Chaoyun's shoulders and walked forward naturally: "Go, go ahead and see what else is interesting. This is a temple fair imitating the human world. It's my first time visiting a temple fair, it's really interesting."
Ji Chaoyun stared at him for a while, then lowered his head and bit a candied haws.
The sweetness filled his mouth in an instant, and the troubled thoughts in his heart seemed to be swept away at that moment, leaving only the sweet taste that spread to the bottom of his heart.
The two didn't walk around for long.
Night fell quickly, and there were more pedestrians on the street than before. Feng Qi originally wanted to take Ji Chaoyun to the river to set lanterns to join in the fun, but when he saw the crowd, he backed away.
Not to mention it was him, even Ji Chaoyun couldn't think about what it would be like for His Royal Highness the dignified Second Feng to be squeezed into a mess in the crowd, and offered to go to Changyuan Pavilion to find a place with a good view to watch the lanterns.
Feng Qi readily agreed.
Fortunately, Feng Qi had reserved a table in Changyuanxie's private room early in the morning. When the two arrived, the private room had already prepared wine and food.
Chang Yuanxie's fairy chef is no worse than the mortal restaurant, and the ingredients are also bought in person in the mortal world every once in a while, and the taste is needless to say. The two sat down by the window, singing and dancing on the stage on the other side, and thousands of river lanterns slowly floated away on the long river, reflecting the entire market town brightly.
Feng Qi didn't have much interest in human food, so he poured two glasses of wine on his own. Ji Chaoyun watched his movements quietly, wanted to say something, but held back.
These people have never taken the academy's precepts seriously. No wonder Immortal Venerable Yuheng in the Precepts Hall always looks resentful.
"Don't look at me like that, just drink two glasses." Feng Qi smiled and said, "I brought this wine from the Feng Clan, brewed from Ganquan Qingzhu, you don't need to shake off the immortal wine difference that guy gave you."
Ji Chaoyun was skeptical and took a tentative taste.
This wine is mellow in the mouth, strong but not strong, and the aftertaste is sweet and long. Even if Ji Chaoyun doesn't drink often in the past, he has to admit that the wine tastes really good.
Ji Chaoyun's eyes lit up, and he raised his head and drank it.
"Drink slowly." Feng Qi helped him fill it up and said leisurely, "This alcohol is strong, if you get drunk later, I won't carry you back."
Ji Chaoyun played outside for a day today, feeling a lot more happy, looked up at him: "Don't underestimate me, although I don't like drinking, but it's not that easy to get drunk."
Feng Qi raised his eyebrows: "So powerful?"
"Dragon clan is a water clan after all, and they will dispel the alcohol on their own. You don't know that?" Ji Chaoyun thought of something and smiled, "I used to drink Fengxiao's share, and he poured it in a cup."
Feng Qi rolled his eyes and said proudly, "Then I'm better than him, and I've never been drunk."
Ji Chaoyun laughed: "What is there to compare to..."
Feng Qi smiled without saying a word, and did not explain. After a while, he asked again: "By the way, have you figured out how to solve your illusion?"
Ji Chaoyun restrained his smile and shook his head.
Feng Qi said: "I asked someone to inquire. The content of the next quarterly test is Huan Mingjian. If I expect it to be good, Kaiyang-Jun will release monsters in Huanmingjian, which will also be scored by killing monsters. If you can't overcome it, Illusion, I'm afraid it's not easy to think about this assessment."
"I understand." Ji Chaoyun lowered his eyes, "Now I can only take one step at a time, but I will try my best and no longer run away."
Feng Qi: "I might have a way to help you."
"what?"
"You can't break through the illusion of Huo Mingjian. It's just that the knot in your heart has not been opened, and the stagnation becomes a demon, which will cause you to be unable to use spiritual power in the illusion. As long as you defeat this layer of inner demon, can you break through?"
Ji Chaoyun frowned slightly: "But... I didn't even have the ability to..."
If he hadn't been able to pass this hurdle when he ascended through the calamity, he would not have fallen into the state of half-demon and half-immortal now.
"You know that the Tianhu Clan can also do illusions, right?" Feng Qi said, "If you are willing to try, I can ask Bai Qiuyue to help you fall into a dream, revisit the old place, and unravel the knot in your heart."
Ji Chaoyun was taken aback: "Is it really possible?"
Feng Qi smiled at him: "With me, nothing is impossible, just say whether you want to try it or not."
"… good."
The two were drinking and chatting, seeing that the curfew time of Hongmeng Academy was approaching, they stopped talking and prepared to return. Ji Chaoyun stood up, but felt that the world was spinning for a while, and he fell back on the seat softly.
"Chaoyun?" Feng Qi hurriedly stepped forward to help him, "What's wrong?"
Ji Chaoyun hadn't figured out what happened to him. He raised his head and said slowly, "It seems... a little dizzy?"
This wine from the Feng clan has a clear and refreshing taste, but it has an extraordinarily strong stamina. Ji Chaoyun didn't notice it just now, until now, the dizziness surged up with the wine, and even the cold white face showed an abnormal blush.
Feng Qi: "...Didn't you say you can get rid of alcohol on your own?"
Ji Chaoyun whispered: "But then... that was three hundred years ago..."
"..."
Alright, it's Dragon Ball again.
Feng Qi shook his head in disbelief, but at this moment, Ji Chaoyun's consciousness had become less sober.
After that burst of alcoholism came up, he got drunk very fast, Ji Chaoyun lay down on the table, only to feel sleepy and unable to exert any strength.
Feng Qi pulled him but couldn't get up, and coaxed warmly, "Chaoyun, don't rush to sleep, I'll take you back to Wen Qufeng."
"No, it's so sleepy." Ji Chaoyun's eyelids were too heavy to open, and he said vaguely.
"..." Feng Qi was silent for a moment, then raised his hand and pinched the other person's red earlobe, "You really don't want to leave?"
The drunk Xiaolong was stubborn and stubborn: "Don't go."
"... Then you can't blame me."
The Longyuan Pavilion does not rest day and night, and each private room has an inner room for guests to rest at night. Feng Qi helped Ji Chaoyun to the small couch in the inner room. As soon as the latter's body touched the soft couch, he immediately stretched out unprepared, and couldn't stop muttering something.
Feng Qi didn't do anything to him in the end, he just helped him remove the robe, shoes and socks, and pulled the quilt to cover him.
Then he couldn't help but sigh: "Where can I find a decent gentleman like me now, I'm almost moved by myself."
Ji Chaoyun didn't seem sleepy anymore when he lay in bed. He stared at Feng Qi, as if he didn't understand what he was talking about.
Feng Qi was irritated by him, raised his hand and tapped him on the head: "What are you looking at, go to sleep, let's go back when you wake up."
"It hurts..." Ji Chaoyun covered his forehead, his eyes misted, pitifully, "How did you hit me?"
"..."
Feng Qi gritted his lower teeth lightly.
Hook people.
Ji Chaoyun didn't understand why Feng Qi ignored him, he stretched out his hand and tugged at Feng Qi's sleeve: "Are you angry?"
This is not at all the tone he usually speaks to Feng Qi.
Every time he was unconscious, he couldn't tell Feng Qi and Feng Xiao apart.
Feng Qi looked down at him, wondering if it was because of the influence of the drink, there was a subtle and dark displeasure in his heart. He leaned down, leaned in front of Ji Chaoyun, and asked softly maliciously, "Who am I?"
Ji Chaoyun's ignorant eyes showed Feng Qi's malicious look, but he just looked at him quietly and didn't answer.
Feng Qi lowered his head, the two of them got closer and closer, and could almost feel each other's shallow breathing. He held up Ji Chaoyun's chin and asked him in a low voice, "Chaoyun, open your eyes, who am I?"
"Feng..."
Feng Qi's heart beat fast, and he stared at him motionless.
Ji Chaoyun suddenly laughed: "Feng Qi."
Feng Qi's voice seemed to be deafening to Feng Qi's ears, as if some kind of heavy object was slamming into his heart, Feng Qi's eyes instantly sank.
Ji Chaoyun seemed to be very happy that he could distinguish the two, and kept calling his name: "Feng Qi, it's Feng Qi... You must be Feng Qi, I know it's you... "
Feng Qi closed his eyes, rationally clamoring for him not to continue, but he didn't move, and he didn't even let go of the hand that held Ji Chaoyun's chin.
He rubbed the other's lips with his fingertips, and some kind of dark emotion that was well hidden in the past gradually emerged from those eyes, his voice was hoarse, but still very gentle: "I know it's me and I still don't push it away. Huh? Aren't you afraid of what I will do to you?"
Ji Chaoyun blinked blankly.
He was so drunk that he didn't understand what Feng Qi was saying: "Why push it away?"
"Because... If you don't push away, I can't help but want to kiss you."
The refreshing aroma of wine lingered on the sides of the two, and even the temperature was gradually rising.
After a long while, Ji Chaoyun opened his mouth, and before he could say anything, Feng Qi lowered his head and kissed him on the lips.
Go to his upright gentleman.
The author has something to say:
Feng Qi: A virtuous gentleman, I'm going to cry this hooker today! ! !
Xiaolong: ... This phoenix vinegar is going crazy with vinegar, let's drag it down. [shakes head
