come back to me

Zhou Hui's eyes fell on Phoenix's sleeping face. In the shadow, the little phoenix's eyelashes are tightly closed, and the curved arc of the tail has an inconceivably delicate and fragile feeling, as if it will shatter into countless pieces when touched.

Zhou Hui took a breath, lowered his head in the misty morning mist, and lightly touched his sweaty forehead with his lips.

Chapter 75 As long as you wait for one day, it will be enough to repay my hope and wait for thousands of years in this world - [End of text]

Yan Lanyu's eighteenth birthday is finally coming.

After entering the special section, Brother Yan has been very low-key, not saying a word or walking a step, silently bowing his head and doing his own thing. Yu Jingzhong only knew when his birthday was after reading his files. He wanted to invite everyone to have a good gathering, but was repeatedly delayed because of the Asura tribe's massive invasion of the Human Realm Monument, followed by Phoenix Nirvana.

Now that Zhou Hui has finally returned from the Hell Buzhou Mountain, the little phoenix has also transformed, and even Zhang Shun and Garuda are staying in the human world, which can be described as an unprecedented gathering together. In the next year, the Spring Festival is approaching, and Deputy Yu finally has the heart to embezzle public funds, and wants to take this opportunity to gather everyone to celebrate their birthdays and New Years together.

Everyone agreed, and Li Hu hung on Zhang Shun's arm and asked, "But isn't this day the little beauty's birthday? Does it matter?"

"The birthday on his file is the day he was picked up by the Tantric Sect when he was a child, and it was originally a fake." Yu Fu said while checking the New Year's Eve price of the suburban hot spring hotel on his mobile phone: "It's okay, from now on his birthday will be the third day of the new year. Ten, come back and remind me to change his file."

Zhang Shun and Li Hu looked at each other, the former asked in a low voice, "Why do I feel that Vice Yu has become less and less cowardly recently..."

"I don't know, even the public funds are made to eat and drink. It's probably a dead fish." Li Hu sneaked: "I heard from Zhou Hui that Yu Fu wanted to take the party's expenses back to the unit for reimbursement, and he hesitated for half a month. When he made the decision, he was completely reborn, as if he had received a new life... Maybe Yu Fu would turn into a corrupt official. The small step he took today is a big step in the future for the entire special department to go to the dark abyss of corruption and public funds to eat and drink. step."

Zhang Shun agreed, nodding his head again and again, while Wu Bei, Qian San, Shen Wan Tiansi and others all looked impatient.

·

Yu Jingzhong finally settled on a hot spring resort on the outskirts of Beijing. Through acquaintances, he built a few independent homes and took everyone out for dinner, hot springs, watching fireworks, watching the Spring Festival Gala and other New Years.

The crowd eagerly asked to participate, and they all sang their praises. They agreed that Yu Fuzhen was becoming more and more masculine.

The new year is getting closer and closer, and supernatural events across the country are gradually rare. Most of the team members are idle and have nothing to do. Comrade Wu Soul Poet Bei brought a few sacks of Northeastern specialties to Beijing, and distributed deer antler and ginseng in a special place. That afternoon, the whole building turned into a sea of joy.

Situ Yingzhi and Li Hu went to the streets together to scan goods, and Li Hu bought seven or eight new sets of swimsuits for this hot spring bath. After seeing it, many female team members said that the sixth team leader has extraordinary taste, but it does not feel right to share a dressing room with the sixth team leader, which seems strange.

Yan Lanyu received countless birthday wishes, which was unprecedented in the first seventeen years of his life, making him flattered to the point of being very embarrassed. This level reached its peak when Garuda gave him a birthday present - Garuda has no money for thousands of years, so it is not as good as Qian San and Wu Bei who have made a lot of money; A golden feather was plucked from the body. The huge feathers of the Dapeng Garuda are almost as tall as a person. Yan Xiaoge was almost tired and vomiting blood before carrying it back to the office. It was so dazzling behind the door that it dazzled countless people's titanium alloy dog eyes.

In the atmosphere of everyone's enthusiasm, only Zhou Hui seemed a little withdrawn.

Because Phoenix still has no sign of waking up, and during this period of time, it burned twice in a row.

The first time it suddenly caught fire when Zhou Hui was feeding water. The golden red flame burst out from the seven orifices with a screeching sound, covering the whole body in an instant, and it suddenly went out after a few minutes. The second time was in the middle of the night. The brightness of the flames abruptly woke Zhou Hui from his sleep. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Little Phoenix had fallen off the bed, then stumbled to his feet and stumbled towards the door.

Zhou Hui rushed up with a single stride, only to see the face of the little phoenix wrapped in flames blurred, and vaguely saw a convulsive expression that was a little cold - it was completely an adult's expression, and it was even more chilling when it appeared on the face of a child. Zhou Hui didn't know what he was dreaming about, so he could only try his best to prevent him from wandering outside.

After these two attacks, Phoenix's body grew rapidly, almost the size of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child. His bones began to show the distinct features of a pre-nirvana adult, hollow, light, and extremely rigid, making him very light.

His facial features became more and more detached from the milky tenderness, vaguely revealing the outline of the year, his eyes were closed, his complexion was pale, and he looked thin and tired.

Zhou Hui doesn't know when the next time it will burn up, all the growth process of the phoenix is random, even if he secretly made arrangements before nirvana, no one knows what the plan in his heart is and what pace it will follow. Come and go.

He is such a person. When he loses enough trust, he will not say anything, and let all the plans and secrets be buried for a long time.

Zhou Hui didn't know what to do, all he could do was wait.

·

Zhou Hui didn't really want to go to the hot spring for New Year's Eve at first. Later, a group of people went into battle and strongly persuaded him to go. Deputy Yu also booked a honeymoon suite alone so that the little Phoenix could rest peacefully. Zhou Hui was relieved.

As a result, on that day, several cars drove to the hot spring hotel to see that the conditions were quite good. The terrace of the room faces the huge artificial garden and golf course. There are also saunas, spas and massage chairs in the garden. The stone path leads to the hot spring pool surrounded by bamboo forests. After getting the room card, everyone dispersed with a hula. The Three Kingdoms killed who had an appointment to play mahjong did a spa, and they jumped into the hot spring like thumping dumplings. Vice Yu and Garuda carried the three-tier cake into the yard, ready to cut it while watching the fireworks after dinner.

Little Phoenix enjoys special treatment and enjoys the couple's suite exclusively with Zhou Hui. Zhou Hui took him into the room and saw that the big bed was sprinkled with red rose petals, and he also used a white towel to make a swan shape that crossed his neck. It was very romantic under the light of the lights, and he couldn't help but let out a wry smile.

"Which pot can't be opened and lifted..." He sighed and gently placed Little Phoenix on the bed.

The little phoenix's forehead was pressed against Zhou Hui's palm, looking very docile, and the hair on the temples contrasted with the snow-white cheeks, and it even felt a little pitiful.

Even the primordial divine bird cannot avoid growing pains when it is a human body. While the bones are rapidly maturing, the pain in the joints and other places has been tormenting him all the time. Even if he can't say it, he often shows pain and distress in his sleep.

Zhou Hui would sometimes wake up in the middle of the night to massage him, gently smooth the folds between his brows, and then lean over to give him a gentle and patient kiss.

"Come back soon..." He said softly, rubbing the bridge of his nose against Little Phoenix's cold and delicate cheeks, "Even if it's yours forever, it can't really make people wait forever."

Little Phoenix may have sensed something in his sleep, and shrank his head sensitively.

Zhou Hui looked at him, and suddenly found a hidden and shy smile on the corner of his lips, and then buried his face in the pillow, as if he was secretly having a good dream.

- He slept for so long, and this was the first time he looked happy instead of miserable.

Zhou Hui couldn't help being stunned.

·

Dinner was eaten in the glass conservatory in the garden. Yu Jingzhong brought several team leaders and other non-staff members such as Yan Lanyu, Zhang Shun, and Garuda. A group of people made each other drunk as if they had not eaten or drank with public funds for 800 years. , Li Hu almost climbed onto the table to do a striptease, and was knocked down by Zhang Shun with a swirl of his plate, and fell under the table with a squeak.

Garuda was calm at all times, sitting at the table playing with his mobile phone, suddenly raised the camera and clicked a picture for the little phoenix in Zhou Hui's arms.

Zhou Hui immediately took Little Phoenix behind him sensitively: "What are you doing?"

Garuda didn't answer, and lowered his hair on WeChat. The corner of Zhou Hui's mouth twitched immediately when he saw it, and saw that the recipient's head was a peacock with golden light and roaring arrogance.

"Maha wanted to see what his mother would look like after she transformed." Garuda explained, "If you don't show him, maybe he will go to the human world to have a New Year's Eve dinner. You don't want to do that either."

Zhou Hui: "…"

The photo was sent, and a reply came three seconds later. Maha couldn't type, only spoke, and asked arrogantly: "I saw my mother, who is that ugly figure behind him?"

Zhou Hui: "…"

·

After dinner, everyone began to cut the cake, surrounded Yan Lanyu and sang the birthday song, and made three wishes, and they had to say it out loud. Yan Lanyu was quite ashamed, blushed for a long while and promised the first one, wishing that every year will be like this, every year will be like this, and the people who have a good moon will always be there.

Li Hu said: "Cut-I don't understand! The whole thing is simple! Would you like me to sing you a song?"

Situ Yingzhi said drunkenly: "Little beauty pears don't know how to pull, and asked Lao Yu to give money every year. Let's all come to HIGH to pull..."

Without saying a word, Yu Jingzhong slapped Li Hu and Situ under the table and did not climb up for a long time.

"The second... The second wish is to have a discount at the hotel," Yan Lanyu hesitated. "I don't know how much it will cost tonight. It's not good to spend too much on public dinners."

Everyone immediately started booing, eager to talk to the hotel owner about life, but they stood up one by one and became dizzy, so they all agreed to go back after sobering up on the first day of the new year, and continued to ask about their third wish.

"I really don't have it anymore," Yan Lanyu said helplessly, "I don't have many wishes, so it's good... No no! Don't give me that drink! I'll think about it later, okay? No, I really can't drink it!"

Yan Lanyu threw the knife, hugged her head and wanted to run, but she was immediately caught by Shen Wan and Li Hu and cut the cake tremblingly. So a bunch of drunks came up to drink and grab the cake. Everyone wanted the happy birthday chocolate card on the cake, but Yu Jingzhong slapped him back, and finally the chocolate card and candied strawberries belonged to the birthday star.

Li Hu wanted candied strawberries, but he didn't get them. He was very dissatisfied and said that he wanted to pour three cups of birthday stars. Yan Lanyu fled the crowd in panic, and happened to hide next to Xiao Fenghuang. Seeing that he was sleeping with his mouth slightly open, he picked up half a strawberry and fed it.

"Can I eat it?"

Zhou Hui glanced at it, nodded and said, "If you can eat it, feed it a little bit."

Little Phoenix subconsciously chewed twice in his sleep, swallowed it for a long time, and smashed it.

Yan Lanyu found it interesting, and leaned Xiao Fenghuang's head lightly on her shoulder and fed a small piece, watching him chew and swallow it in a daze, until the corners of his lips turned slightly red, as if he had been smudged.

This scene is actually very cute, but for some reason, Yan Lanyu suddenly remembered that the first time she saw Chu He, he shot the earth-shattering arrow at King Peacock Ming in the grotto; Prestigious attitude.

He suddenly felt a little sad.

"—If my third wish is that His Royal Highness Duke Ming wakes up today, can it come true?"

Yan Lanyu said to herself, and suddenly felt that the idea of making a birthday wish and expecting it to come true was very childish.

What he didn't notice was that the moment he made his third wish, Little Phoenix's eyelashes trembled.

… wake up

wake up

... So I haven't woken up yet...

Phoenix's fingers moved, but no one could see clearly in the noisy environment. It was almost twelve o'clock, and many people moved the benches to watch the fireworks in the garden, and the countdown sounded in the distance.

Zhou Hui stood up, picked up the little phoenix and put it on his shoulder, and said, "It's cold, I'll take him back first."

He passed through the drunken crowd, carefully stepped over the messy cups and plates and cream, and walked across the garden to the hand porch. The first fireworks suddenly rose in the distant sky, piercing the night sky like a meteor, and then a brilliant and colorful light erupted, reflecting on the sleeping face of the little phoenix.

… so bright, Phoenix thought.

He narrowed his eyes in a trance and couldn't tell whether he was in reality or in his sleep. He only saw the towering Hell Buzhou Mountain under his feet, and then the vast sky in front of him suddenly burst into flames, instantly burning the nine heavens and ten places into a gorgeous sea of fire.

"Even you want to kill me?!" Sakyamuni's roar resounded in his ears: "—Do you even want me to die?!"

Only then did Phoenix realize that he was holding a Buddha bone knife, facing Sakyamuni's furious face. In the distance, Zhou Hui was desperately rushing towards this side against the fire, and the entire Buzhou Mountain was burned into a golden pagoda that reached the sky in the flames of Nirvana.

"If you don't die, this won't end, the chaos and scuffle will continue..."

"Farewell, Shakyamuni."

The phoenix hand exerted force, and the tip of the knife stabbed into Sakyamuni's throat.

- Blood spurted out, and at that moment, the raging wind came to a standstill, and then time and space fast-forwarded wildly.

The pictures in countless parallel worlds are completely mixed together to form the silhouettes of thousands of phoenixes - young, lonely, crying, begging, standing on the city wall and waiting, on Buzhou Mountain, trying to reach Zhou. Hui stretched out his hand...

The swirling mottled color blocks converged into a torrent, all of which were reflected in Phoenix's eyes.

The next moment Shakyamuni screamed away, and the golden Buddha statue rose from the Buddha's bone, standing above the sea of lotus fire, and facing the phoenix from a distance.

"I'm going back..." Buddha said.

Phoenix couldn't hear anything, as if all the hustle and bustle in the world had turned into a silent tide, receding from his ears in an uproar.

"Thank you for so many years, Phoenix." The young face of the Buddha that belonged to Zhang Shun showed loneliness: "You are going to Nirvana, it will be difficult to meet in the future. Is there any last wish? If you want a peacock Words of Godhead…”

"No," Phoenix interrupted suddenly hoarsely, "I don't need that now."

Phoenix turned back to look at Zhou Hui, such a simple action seemed very laborious because of the serious injury and weakness.

In the frozen space and time, Zhou Hui stood still, his furious and anxious eyes were also watching him, gleaming in the sea of fire.

"I want to see the right person at first sight after Nirvana..." Phoenix panted, "I want to be raised by that person in peace, to be taken care of, and to be carefree, even if it's just for one day..."

Even if it's only for one day.

Please don't make the person I love wait too long, as long as one day, I will try my best to get back to him.

Jinfo followed Phoenix's gaze to Zhou Hui in the distance, sighed and said, "Okay."

As the word landed, Phoenix showed a tired smile and slowly closed his eyes. The wind that had solidified around him blew frantically again in an instant, the time and space returned to normal, and the fire swept up; Zhou Hui frantically rushed towards this side through the heavy clouds of smoke, and even the cuffs and corners of his clothes were burned without realizing it.

Phoenix heard Zhou Hui's furious roar, and he could feel his body being engulfed by the fire of Nirvana little by little.

Goodbye, my Zhou Hui.

Please let me see you at the first sight when I open my eyes again, please let me wake up in your eyes with peace of mind.

As long as you wait one day, it will be enough to repay my hope and wait for thousands of years in this world.

next second.

Time flies, the human world, Chu He's office. Little Phoenix opened the drawer of "Holding the Corpse", walked out of the phantom of an adult phoenix from the opened diary, leaned down, faced his childhood self, and gently wiped away the tears from the corner of Little Phoenix's eyes: "My wish has come true... "He says.

"You can go home."

- I can finally go home.

In the garden, the countdown to the last moment of the New Year, the hour hand turns to zero, and the sky is full of fireworks.

Countless layers of colorful light erupted in the sky, cheers resounded through the sky, and gathered into a torrent to the land of China.

Zhou Hui stopped by the railing of the veranda and looked at the magnificent fireworks in the sky. Suddenly he felt a movement in his arms, and when he lowered his head, he saw Xiao Fenghuang opened his eyes, then closed them tightly due to the sudden light, and opened them again after a while, blinking a few times.

"Zhou Hui..." he said softly.

Zhou Hui couldn't believe his eyes, and for a moment he thought he heard it wrong. But then he saw Little Phoenix laugh. Although the smile was a little pale and weak, there was a familiar look in his eyes.

"Thank you...you've been waiting for me."

Phoenix paused, the fireworks all over the sky reflected the gentle shimmer in his eyes like water: "—I'm back, Happy New Year."

Zhou Hui's throat was sore and choked, his shoulders were shaking strangely, and his vision was blurred. In the dimness, he hugged Fenghuang tightly, opened his mouth a few times but couldn't utter a word, only the New Year's Eve cheers from the crowd in the distance could be heard.

At that moment, the fire trees, silver flowers, and the peaceful scene all turned into silence, and receded into the distant vagueness of the night sky.

"I thought it was going to be a long wait..."

Zhou Hui closed his eyes, and the hot liquid slid across his cheeks.

He lowered his head and placed a trembling kiss on Phoenix's hair: "…Welcome back, my dear Highness."

After the embracing figures, the old days swirled, wrapped in countless love and hate, gunpowder, tears and partings from the past, converged into a river and ran into the distance, disappearing into the vast sky.

The fireworks dissipated, and everything was silent.

The New Year's bell rang at that moment.

The author has something to say:

So far, the content that has not been mentioned, such as the godhead of Maha and the follow-up content of Yan Lanyu, will be released one after another in the fanwai~ 1.7 The new author has something to say:

Many adults say that the ending is abrupt, and it is like this: The outline stipulates that the moment when Phoenix regains his memory will end. Da Mao's godhead, Zhou Hui's lifespan, Yu Yan's CP, and daily sweet and sweet meat, etc. cannot start the plot when Phoenix's memory has not been restored, so they are all outside the story. If there are conditions, the side story will add the Tokyo Tantric Gate chapter. In short, this is the same as Hilda was born in the last episode of the Galaxy episode.
