Spoiler: About the past events of the two students' days
The last session tonight is the vice-principal's theory of the monster race. As a simple public elective subject, there are many students of different grades sitting in the big classroom. Before the bell rang, Nuo Da's auditorium was a little noisy. Xu Yinian flipped through his textbooks, thinking that he would have to sit here for two hours, it was really boring.
He turned his head and kept looking out the window, restless for a moment, and finally stood up from his seat. Seeing his eagerness to try, Xia Ziheng couldn't help asking: "No, brother Xu, the next class is for the vice principal, how dare you skip it?"
"You understand," Xu Yinian gave him a look, "If the name is called, just say I went to the bathroom."
He and Xia Ziheng's seats were close to the back door, and they could slip out by pushing the door open. Just as Xu Yinian put his hand on the doorknob, someone pulled the door open from the outside before him. The lights in the corridor were exceptionally bright, reflecting the handsome and sharp faces of the Yaozu. The moment their eyes met, Yu Huai's expression softened, without the sharp sense of inaccessibility.
"Where are you going?"
Xu Yinian didn't expect to bump into Yu Huai, so he hesitated and didn't answer. Xia Ziheng looked back and saw Xu Yinian was still standing at the door, and kindly reminded: "If you don't leave, you will ring the bell."
As soon as he finished speaking, he happened to meet Shang Yuhuai's gaze.
Yu Huai was notoriously unapproachable at Fengqiao College, when he just found out that Xu Yinian's love partner was the young master of the ghost clan, his jaw almost dropped from shock.
It was the first time for Xia Ziheng to come into contact with Yu Huai at such a close distance, and his eloquent mouth became dull, and he bluntly brought the topic to Xu Yinian: "Senior, are you here to find brother Xu? He just happens to be leaving too. You can go together."
Xu Yinian turned his head and gave Xia Ziheng a look, wishing he could sew his mouth shut.
For some reason, Xu Yinian was used to skipping classes and leaving early to violate the rules, but he felt a little embarrassed in front of Yu Huai. The eyes of Yu Huai who seemed to be smiling but not smiling were even more embarrassing to the extreme, so he could only bite the bullet and make amends for himself: "Let's go right away, I'll go to the toilet right away, and I must be back before the bell rings."
Seeing his nervous expression, Yu Huai gave him a step down: "Then you go and come back quickly, this class is for me."
"Huh?" Xu Yinian didn't care about the embarrassment of being found skipping class, "Are you going?"
It's not surprising when you think about it, when the teachers of the college are overwhelmed, they will occasionally ask students with excellent grades in the upper grades to help substitute them. With Yu Huai's level, taking one elective course is more than enough.
"The vice-principal has something to do temporarily, so he asked me to take over." Yu Huai seemed to remember something, "By the way, don't rush to leave after class, just wait for me."
For the next two hours, Xu Yinian sat obediently in his seat, not only did he not doze off and make small movements, but he didn't even look at his phone. On the large projection screen on the right side of the podium, all kinds of strange monsters appeared one after another. The students all watched intently, but Xu Yinian glanced to the side from time to time. Looking at the figure of Yu Huai on the podium, I just feel that the theory class of hypnosis is not so boring.
Time passed quickly, and the bell rang for the end of get out of class. Yu Huai rejected several students who asked for his contact information under the pretext of asking questions, and walked straight towards Xu Yinian.
"Didn't fall asleep just now?" In front of him, Yu Huai lost the sense of distance facing other people.
Xu Yinian sat upright, and immediately shook his head when he heard it, almost saying "I'm serious" written on his face. Looking at his appearance, Yu Huai laughed and said, "Is this how you save face?"
Before Xu Yinian could speak, Yu Huai leaned closer to his ear: "It's my birthday this weekend, and I invited a lot of people, I may need your help."
Realizing that the help he said meant pretending to be a couple on the birthday, Xu Yinian paused, and whispered, "Okay."
There are numerous white snow accumulated on the dark green canopy, the cold wind blows the snow all over the ground, and there is a layer of crystal clear ice on the side of the fountain pool. Different from the cold and freezing scene outside, the villa is brightly lit, and the guests coming and going are dressed in gorgeous clothes, but if you look carefully, you will find that they have characteristics that do not belong to humans.
Eyes and hair of different colors, sharp canine teeth, beautiful faces that are almost monstrous... all of them reveal their identities. The furry ears of the cat monster stood up, the fluffy tail of the fox monster swayed back and forth, and some winged monsters held champagne glasses and relaxedly stretched their plump wings.
It was rare for Xu Yinian to see so many monsters gathered together. In comparison, the theory class of Fengqiao College seemed more and more boring.
Isn't this more interesting than class
Xu Yinian couldn't take his eyes off it, and almost collided with the waiter who was carrying the tray. Fortunately, Yu Huai gave him a hand in time: "What are you looking at? So attentive."
"You monster clan's birthday is really interesting." Xu Yinian turned his head, his long eyelashes fluttered, and his eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Yu Huai, it's been a long time." The female peach demon approached her with a smile on her face. She has a graceful figure and a delicate appearance, her hair and eyes are pink like peach blossoms.
"Sister Xin Yi." Yu Huai also smiled.
Xin Yi's gaze moved to his side, and he asked curiously, "I heard that you are in a relationship, is this the kid?"
Yu Huai hummed, and embraced Xu Yinian's shoulders. Compared with him, the person in his arms looks much thinner, completely juvenile.
Xu Yinian met the banshee's eyes, and knowing that it was time to enter the role, he obediently smiled at her: "Hello, sister."
"Hello." Xin Yi smiled and joked, "We didn't believe it when we first heard that Yu Huai was in love with humans. It's not surprising to see you."
She said it sincerely: "No wonder, I would like you too."
Even knowing that the Yaozu are unrestrained in nature, Xu Yinian was a little embarrassed to be made fun of by the opposite sex. Yu Huai half-truthfully said: "This is my boyfriend, it's too late for you to like it."
"Okay, I get it." She seemed to have known Yu Huai for a long time, and just as soon as she agreed, she complained to Xu Yinian like a whisper, "Yu Huai has such a domineering personality, isn't it hard to be with him?"
Xu Yinian was slightly taken aback, his first reaction was that of course it wasn't hard work, he and I were fake.
Besides, is Yu Huai's character... very strong
Xu Yinian couldn't help thinking along with her words. Since agreeing to Yu Huai to pretend to be a couple, their contacts have become more frequent. At first, he thought that he should only show intimacy with Yu Huai on certain occasions, but Yu Huai seemed worried that the impromptu performance would go wrong, so he often accompanied him to and from get out of class, and would ask him out to play in his spare time.
Even so, the real relationship between the two is not a couple who can interfere with each other. In front of him, Yu Huai shows more of a gentle side.
Xu Yinian came back to his senses, and he praised him: "Yu Huai is very gentle and considerate, and he treats me very well. The happiest thing I do every day is to fall in love with him."
He felt that the praise was quite in place, and it might have been a bit of artistic processing at most, but Xin Yi laughed directly: "Are we talking about the same person? Little brother, you won't be poured into the ecstasy soup, right?"
Yu Huai was also laughing at first, he didn't expect Xu Yinian to be so slow, not only didn't realize that there was something wrong with being occupied by him, but he also boasted wildly at this time.
Seeing that Xin Yi seemed to want to say something else, Yu Huai interjected in time: "Did you hear that? Don't arrange for me, he knows a lot more than you."
His tone was flamboyant, with real joy in his eyes, and the arms on Xu Yinian's shoulders unknowingly retracted, holding him tighter.
At this time, a girl-like peach demon came up with the tray, and Xin Yi saw the small porcelain cup on the tray: "It's just right, the gift I prepared is ready."
As she spoke, she picked up the two small porcelain cups with her own hands and handed them to Yu Huai and Xu Yinian respectively: "This is wine made from peach blossoms from our family. It is sweeter and more delicious than ordinary peach blossom wine. More importantly, , it can enhance the affection between husband and wife.”
Speaking of the latter, Xin Yi blinked ambiguously.
Xu Yinian just felt that the effect of this peach blossom wine was not quite right, and the monsters next to him were attracted when the little peach demon came up with the tray, and they all booed after hearing it: "It's not suitable, Xin Yi, you are like this!" Once it is done, wouldn’t it just go straight to the highway.”
"Drink this glass of wine, when will you treat us to a wedding?"
What? How did it involve drinking wedding wine?
Xu Yinian's heart was filled with countless question marks.
Yu Huai ignored the other people's commotion, he turned his head and looked down at Xu Yinian.
He knew that Xin Yi had good intentions, but he and Xu Yinian were not in a real relationship. It would be disrespectful to let Xu Yinian drink like this.
Xu Yinian looked at him and saw Yu Huai's hesitation. However, he and Yu Huai's thoughts were not on the same line at all, and he thought that the other party was waiting for him to express his opinion.
Thinking that not drinking might make Yu Huai unable to get off the stage, Xu Yinian picked up the small porcelain cup without hesitation.
Fuck it, it's just a glass of wine.
Yu Huai was stunned, and before he could stop it, Xu Yinian had already drank the peach blossom wine.
The monsters around shouted cheerfully, but Yu Huai didn't move. Xin Yi seemed to see what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Don't be so nervous, the peach blossom wine will only increase the feeling of heartbeat, and it is harmless. Besides, its alcohol content is very low, and when the strength of the wine passes, the impact will be less. Then disappeared."
Hearing this, Yu Huai drank the peach blossom wine. A monster teased: "I can't see it, Yu Huai also has a day of hurting people."
Even though I drank peach blossom wine, I didn't seem to feel anything special. People came and went around, Xu Yinian approached Yu Huai, stretched out his hand and pulled him: "Do you feel anything?"
Recently, Xu Yinian has become more and more used to having physical contact with him, and he made small intimacy unintentionally. From his point of view, the boy raised his head, his beautiful eyebrows were full of curiosity, and the tear mole on his face suddenly became very clear.
The heart seemed to be immersed in bubbling soda water, and an inexplicable sweet taste fermented quietly, Yu Huai couldn't tell if it was the effect of the peach blossom wine, or his own thoughts.
His face was hot, and he agreed in a low voice: "...um."
Xu Yinian opened his eyes slightly, a little in disbelief.
He read it right, Yu Huai actually blush
Once this idea took shape, for some reason, he looked at Yu Huai and gradually began to feel embarrassed.
Obviously Yu Huai hasn't changed much, why does it feel different from usual
The beating of the heart became louder and louder, like clusters of peach blossoms blooming one after another in the chest. Xu Yinian's cheeks also gradually turned red, and in the end, his entire face was burned badly. He raised his hand to fan the wind, and couldn't help muttering: "This wine still has a lot of stamina."
"What are you two doing?" A gentle female voice came from the side, noticing their flushed faces, Xuan Tan asked, "Are you drunk?"
"No."
"No."
They answered in unison, Xuan Tan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "A Huai, it's almost time, you can go get ready."
Xu Yinian asked curiously, "What are you preparing for?"
Yu Huai met his bright eyes, couldn't hold back, and rubbed his head: "You will know in a while."
The fingers with long bony joints ran through the hair, and there was a slight itchiness. It was obviously just an ordinary movement, but it brought a feeling he had never had before.
Xu Yinian looked at Yu Huai's leaving back with a little confusion.
There is actually a comfortable feeling... Is this the effect of peach blossom wine
The two didn't walk a few steps, Xuan Tan turned around and reminded naturally: "Xiao Nian, don't drink too much."
"... Oh." Xu Yinian responded in a daze.
Not long after Yu Huai left, the brightly lit hall suddenly went dark, and the room became pitch black. The monsters didn't seem to be surprised by this: "It's about to start?"
"It should be, I don't know how he will show his ability."
"Last time, that kid from the Xu family organized a birthday present for himself. He showed his strength well, but he's just a bit stupid."
"Hey!" Someone patted him from behind, Xu Yinian turned his head, and vaguely saw Xin Yi's outline in the darkness, "I'm looking forward to it, Yu Huai's ability to prepare should be very interesting."
Xu Yinian didn't understand what she meant, and asked with a confused face: "What preparation?"
"Didn't he tell you? In recent years, the younger generation of Yaozu have to show their strength on their birthdays, in any form, and the ghost clan is no exception." Xin Yi added, "However, the tricks of the ghost clan are Most of them are very interesting.”
Even a monster extermination master knows little about many habits of the monster clan. It was the first time Xu Yinian heard of such rules, and he felt quite novel for a while. Listening to the enthusiastic discussions around him, he suddenly felt that he had really stepped into a world of grotesque monsters that he couldn't see in textbooks.
The silver energy ball rose slowly, and the moonlight-like brilliance filled every corner of the hall. Wherever the light went, glowing plants spread rapidly, grass and vines climbed from the ground to the walls, and colorful flowers bloomed one after another. The spores of countless glowing plants are blown away by the wind, like fireflies flying among the flowers. In such a dreamlike scene, the guests were gradually able to see the surrounding scene clearly.
The sound of rushing water became clearer, and the gleaming waterfall poured down from the wall covered with vines, like a galaxy covered with stardust, and the splashing water droplets filled the air like clouds. As soon as it touched the ground, the water flow slowed down, and the sparkling Milky Way meandered past everyone's feet, cleverly avoiding the position of each round table, which shows its precise control of abilities. Seeing the flame-like bright and dazzling fish school transformed into the illusion in the river, Xin Yi couldn't help sighing: "It seems that Yu Huai has improved a lot in the past few years."
Xu Yinian was almost dumbfounded, and didn't listen to what Xin Yi said. In addition to being amazed at the ethereal and beautiful picture in front of him, what made him even more incredible was Yu Huai's understanding and control of each ability, and the extremely destructive ability itself constructed a fairyland full of beautiful flowers and Yaocao in his hands. . This requires not only acquired hard work, but also extremely high talent.
A translucent white deer passed by Xu Yinian, its branch-like antlers exuded a lustrous halo, the white deer lowered its head slightly, and gently rubbed against his arm. Xu Yinian subconsciously raised his hand to touch it, but his fingers passed through its body.
Bailu suddenly raised his head, as if he had sensed something, he stepped into the air and ran towards the suspended energy ball. Not only it, birds, swimming fish, flowers and water also soared into the sky like weightless, rushing to the same direction as the white deer. As if all the colors were gathered in one place, the energy ball shone brightly, and the room was as bright as day in an instant.
When all the guests came back to their senses, the silver energy ball radiated a soft radiance again. It fell slowly and approached the crowd, like the moon falling from the sky into the world, and finally fell into the hands of the black-haired and black-eyed boy.
Xu Yinian held the full moon carefully, and all eyes were on him. Xin Yi's rare girl's heart was overflowing, and she covered her mouth and screamed softly: "It's too romantic! Did he not tell you because he prepared a surprise?"
Xu Yinian was no less surprised than she was. If he hadn't held this energy ball, he would not have been so calm. Without warning, the energy ball cracked a gap like a broken cocoon, and there seemed to be life shaking inside. The gap was getting bigger and bigger, and the silver wingtips of the living body broke out from it, and the sphere was completely split immediately, and the fragments turned into bits and pieces of dust and dissipated with the wind.
The fairytale-like plot appeared in reality.
A silver butterfly with outstretched wings broke out of its cocoon, fluttered up and down around Xu Yinian, and finally hovered in the boy's palm.
When the butterfly flew out of the cocoon, warm applause erupted from all directions, and the monsters talked excitedly: "How many abilities did he use?"
"Four! To be able to control four abilities at the same time at this age, and to switch them skillfully, is quite remarkable!"
"At times like this, I don't forget to show my affection, there really is him."
"Don't tell me, if someone does this to me, I can marry him on the spot."
Yu Huai walked out from the shadows. In the dimly lit hall, Xu Yinian met his eyes from afar. The moment their eyes met, the silver butterfly in Xu Yinian's hand disappeared, and the room was brightened up again.
The bright light fell into the ghost's special colored eyes, and Yu Huai smiled at him.
Xu Yinian looked at him, his ears started to feel hot again, his heart was beating uncontrollably, as if the disappearing silver butterfly was flapping its wings.
Xu Yinian couldn't help complaining about the influence of peach blossom wine: It's been such a long time, why hasn't the spirit of the wine passed away
How long will this heart-pounding feeling last
