At dusk, the punishment for kneeling finally ended, Qi Yin's legs were so soft that he couldn't stand up, and Fu Lan led him to the hot spring to take a bath. Wufang's hot spring is called Jingquan, where Yao Xiaoshan stole Qi Lingshu's clothes in his name. Continue to go south, through a row of white courtyards and a slip of snow-covered lanes.
The cat master was afraid of water, so he went back by himself, only Fu Lan and Qi Yin were left, they saw the milky white mist from a distance, went in and twitched their fingers, they were wet. The hot springs are very big, with wax plums planted on the shore, and strange rocks standing inside for people to lean on. There is a rockery in the middle, which is a natural separation between men and women. It's a pity there are no eggs, otherwise I can boil an egg and eat it.
Qi Yin took off her clothes and jumped in excitedly. It was dusk, and there was no one inside, Qi Yin was happy to be quiet. Turning to look at Fu Lan, he was taking off his clothes one by one in a gentle manner. The outer robe embroidered with cloud and water patterns was gone, revealing the plain-colored mid-sleeves inside. He lowered his eyebrows and untied the belt, and the neckline fell from his shoulders. The impeccably firm muscles were displayed in front of Qi Yin's eyes, like an inch by inch. A hidden and charming scroll slowly unfolded.
With a bang, there was a momentary blank in my mind. There was a fire in his heart, and it was slowly burning, until his face was red and his ears were red. Qi Yin realized later that he couldn't bathe with Fu Lan, and he was nervous.
He watched helplessly as the man got into the water and walked up to him step by step. Water mist enveloped Fu Lan's tranquil brows, he was silent, like a quiet gardenia. Qi Yin's face was flushed, and he stepped back unconsciously. The uneven rock was stuck on his back, and the friction on his back was painful.
Seeing him retreat, Fu Lan frowned, "Xiao Yin?"
Qi Yin pretended to be calm and tugged at the corners of his mouth dryly, "Uh, brother, don't come here first."
"Why?" Fu Lan was stunned.
Why else! Qi Yin felt that he had a faint qi fork in the meridian, and there were signs of going crazy, and his heart was like a boiling pot with its lid on top, throbbing. He was afraid to touch Fu Lan, the hot spring was so warm, Fu Lan's hands must be soft and smooth. He remembered those pale hands, which were terrifying when they were stained with blood, but when he washed them and made soup, they were as soft as a soft flower.
The part that is unique to men has a tendency to look up, and he is afraid that once Fu Lan gets close, he will become hard.
It's not a goddamn human being! On the one hand, Qi Yin felt that he was a beast, and on the other hand, he felt sorry for Fu Lan. Such an ignorant baby like his brother, who is shy even when he hears that word, he has such filthy thoughts towards him!
Fu Lan frowned at him for a while, then suddenly came over and was about to squat down. If he squatted down, wouldn't he be facing Qi Yin's place! Qi Yin was taken aback and hurriedly leaned to the side with a stone, shouting, "What are you doing!"
Fu Lan was obviously frightened by him, stunned for a long time, and said, "Knead your knee for you."
"No, no!" Qi Yin walked to the side for a long time, found a place to sit down, and stammered, "Brother, you can't do this if you can't be a man."
Being rejected twice at once, Fu Lan was a little stunned. He remembered the days when he was a child, when he took care of all the affairs of the pup, brushing his teeth, washing his face, humming lullabies, and taking a shower every other day. The puppy was naughty, and at the beginning of helping him take a bath, he always played with water in the bathtub, which made him and the cat master all wet. Later, Fu Lan learned to be obedient, and took off her clothes to wash with him. Fu Lan remembered that at that time, when the snow fell outside and the charcoal fire was burning brightly in the house, he beat the pancreas on the back of the dog, grinding out fine and delicate white foam. The puppy was sitting in his arms blowing Momo, smiling with crooked eyes, he was the happiest child in the world.
But now, the puppy sat far away from him, his whole body resisting his approach. Fu Lan lowered her eyebrows and stayed obediently beside the stone. The distance between the two was just enough for an adult man to lie down, and the water mist evaporated among them, and they fell into a long silence.
Qi Yin felt embarrassed and thought out what to say. After thinking about it for a long time, he said eloquently: "Well, the weather is really nice today, the fog is really big, hahaha!"
After speaking, Qi Yin just wanted to slap herself, what kind of thing is this, it's better not to speak.
There was no response from there, Qi Yin couldn't help turning his head to look over, Fu Lan leaned against the wall with his eyes closed, as silent as a statue, and like a god who could not be approached. When this man was silent, he always felt that the next moment would evaporate into the world. Qi Yin suddenly had the urge to walk towards him, the urge to hold his hand, as if this would pull him into the hustle and bustle of the world.
"Xiao Yin." At this moment, Fu Lan suddenly said.
Qi Yin was shocked and said, "Brother."
Fu Lan frowned and said, "Do you have a heart attack?"
"Ah?" Qi Yin was at a loss, "No, what's wrong?"
Fu Lan looked at him through the misty water mist, and her eyes seemed to be hazy. He said: "Your heartbeat sometimes suddenly becomes faster, many times."
Qi Yin was silent, and after a while he said dejectedly, "Brother, it's not a heart attack."
Fu Lan thought for a while in confusion, and suddenly remembered the words Qi Yin taught him on the steps of Feng Huan Mountain - when you meet someone you like, your heart will be pounding. Fu Lan asked softly, "Do you have someone you like?"
There was a momentary blank in Qi Yin's mind, this guy was dumbfounded, why did he suddenly wake up? He was like a child who was found with a hidden sugar cake, and the whole person panicked. Just as he was thinking of explaining something, Fu Lan asked softly, "Does the person you like not like you again?"
Qi Yin: "..."
As if he had been stabbed with an arrow in his heart, Qi Yin covered his chest and silently swallowed a mouthful of old blood.
In an instant, all the beautiful thoughts were gone, and Qi Yin walked over to Fu Lan's side and sat down. Seeing him approaching, Fu Lan was a little flattered, and handed him a gourd and scoop of water. Qi Yin poured spoonfuls of spoonfuls on his body and said, "Brother, I will teach you how to speak when I have time tomorrow."
Fu Lan nodded obediently, his mouth is indeed too stupid, he should study hard.
Qi Yin said again: "Also, Xianshan Qiaolangjun's big list is about to come out, you don't hang around in front of Qi Lingshu these days."
"Why?" Fu Lan asked suspiciously.
Qi Yin sighed deeply, and said, "Based on your beauty and body shape, once the big list comes out, you will definitely squeeze him out as the top card. Besides, before the big list is changed, those girls will be around all day. When the time comes, the people who used to surround him will surround you, and he may not like you." He looked very understanding, "It's human nature."
Fu Lan nodded ignorantly. Qi Yin wanted to pat him on the shoulder, but stopped when he was about to touch his bare shoulder, and finally didn't let go. He raised his hand in embarrassment, turned around and pretended to look at the scenery. The hot spring is so big, and there are strange rocks in it, and Qi Yin became playful and looked around. Turning around the big stone and walking to the back, I suddenly saw a vague figure in the mist in front of me. The pale and thin figure stayed there alone, as if to dissolve in the milky white smoke.
No! Qi Yin petrochemical on the spot. The man turned around, revealing icy cheeks and indifferent eyes.
Just now, he was caught talking ill of others, and Qi Yin can't wait to find a crack in the ground to get in.
"What a coincidence, hahaha!" Qi Yin smiled dryly, "Little Master, you are here to take a bath too."
This guy doesn't have to play the brine book, and he avoids people and animals wherever he goes. No wonder there is no one here at this hour, Qi Yin realized later that it was because he was there.
"My real name." Qi Lingshu said coldly.
This guy speaks like a mallet, with a swipe of his head, Qi Yin didn't respond, "Huh?"
"I'm not asking you." Qi Lingshu said.
Qi Yin turned his head and saw Fu Lan who was just as stunned as him.
Qi Lingshu said: "This junior brother, you just called him 'Xiaoyin', what is his real name?"
Qi Yin was startled, this fellow must be suspicious. Just based on a nickname, how could this fellow guess that he is Qi Yin? Qi Yin was anxious and smiled dryly: "Is it okay to ask me about my real name? My name is..."
"Silence." Qi Lingshu interrupted him, stared at Fu Lan and said, "Junior Brother, please answer truthfully."
When it was over, Qi Yin panicked, this guy Fu Lan wouldn't lie at all, he would definitely reveal his secrets!
"Puppy." Fu Lan replied calmly, "He's my younger brother, called Puppy."
Qi Lingshu was silent. Qi Yin breathed a sigh of relief, let down his dangling heart, and gave Fu Lan a thumbs up.
"The two of us went to the countryside, and the villagers pay attention to their nicknames to make a living, but they don't have a serious name." Qi Yin rubbed his hands together and smiled.
Qi Lingshu ignored him, the three of them stared at each other silently.
I don't know how long it was silent, Qi Lingshu finally said: "Please turn over."
Qi Yin and Fu Lan obeyed obediently, facing the huge stone wall. There was a rustling of water behind him. It was probably Qi Lingshu who had landed on the shore and was getting dressed there. After a while, he said, "Thank you," and heard footsteps drifting away. When he turned around again, Qi Lingshu was gone.
On the second day of the class, Qi Yin presented the homework that he had written after staying up all night. Because of the punishment for kneeling, he had to work hard at night, and climbed up and down the ancient book in the scripture building for one night. He found a seat, lowered his head and put stacks of books on the desk, then took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. There was a person sitting beside him, the corner of his plain white clothes was beside his knees, like an inch of cold moonlight. Suddenly, a large seat was vacated by hula la, and the other classmates fled as if they had seen a ghost. Qi Yin raised his head woodenly and saw Qi Lingshu's deserted profile.
He put everyone's schoolwork together, took out the cinnabar pen to mark them one by one, and did not give Qi Yin the slightest attention.
Qi Yin took the book back into the box with a stiff movement, and tiptoed to prepare to escape. A hand was suddenly pressed on his shoulder, and he was so strong that he couldn't move. He turned his head slowly, looked over his shoulder and saw Qi Lingshu.
"Sit here." Qi Lingshu said without looking up.
Yun Zhi in the back seat was stunned and stared at Qi Lingshu and Qi Yin without blinking. Fu Lan was still in a daze, tugging at his sleeves in vain, and said, "When did the younger brother provoke Qi Lingshu?"
Fu Lan turned his eyes and shook his head in confusion.
Qi Yin twitched the corners of his mouth, "... Little Shishu, why are you here when you have time?"
"I'm the same generation as you, you should call me senior brother."
"How dare I," Qi Yin said with difficulty, "I'd better call you little uncle."
Qi Lingshu was silent for a while, then turned his head to look at him. It was as if ten thousand years of snow had fallen in those eyes, and it was too cold to melt.
He said slowly and clearly, "Call me Senior Brother."
Qi Yin grimaced and replied, "Okay senior brother."
