Lantern: Reflection of the Peach Blossoms

Chapter 60: This sword is called Tian Congyun (1)

Views:

Japan, Mie Prefecture.

The moonlight was like frost, white snow covered the mountain road, and the slate steps under the shrine glowed with blue light.

A figure with long hair scattered and a white robe dragging on the ground walked out of the snow, passed through the frozen torii, stepped on the long walkway covered with snow, and walked into the empty temple.

In the hall, apart from the faint cry, only the sound of his footsteps echoed. Following the direction from which the cry came, he slowly walked towards an altar deep in the temple, only to see a red stone box covered with gold on the altar under the blue light. long knife.

"Is this the cry that summoned me?" the man muttered, reaching for the long knife from the golden stand.

At this moment, the crying stopped, and then the qi swept from the temple!

The gust of wind was overwhelming and mighty, like a beast's mouth opening and devouring people - the man in white's robe sleeves and long hair brushed up, but he didn't even lift his head, he just raised his hand!

Hearing a whistling sound, the strong wind suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving only a shrill cry like an unwilling scream, and then rushed out of the temple and disappeared into the vast distance of the night.

"—His Royal Highness Prince Ming."

This voice suddenly sounded from behind the man in white, and I saw a man in his thirties or forties, but with white hair and beard, who looked like a vulture, bowed deeply to the man in white, and said, "Meet again, His Royal Highness Peacock Daming."

Maha turned around and looked around, squinting his eyes, this expression made his thick eyelashes look like a long and narrow arc like a blade: "Who are you?"

The man didn't get up, only raised his head slightly to reveal his face:

"My name is Xiang Tianyi. I was fortunate enough to meet His Royal Highness Prince Ming in the underground cave in the Chinese mainland. Now I take the liberty of setting up an altar and summoning His Highness because I have something to ask for. I would like to thank each other for this sword."

Maha remembers the Magic Forbidden Grottoes, but he has long lost his impression of such a dispensable little character as Aida Yoshi. His gorgeous and unparalleled eyebrows didn't move at all, and he said lightly: "Oh - what's the matter with you?"

This tone does not sound abnormal, but those who are familiar with him will know that if he violently kills and cuts his heart out the next moment, then there is nothing abnormal like this before.

However, Aida Yoshi did not have any fearful expression: "Excuse me, Your Highness, do you know the name of the sword in his hand, and why does he cry?"

"… "

As he expected, Maha did not answer, Aida Yoshi straightened up and looked directly at the Peacock Ming King on the high altar:

"—This sword is called 'Amazura Cloud', and it is the saber obtained by killing the eight-kid orochi when the third noble son of Izanagi, Kenso Susano, died. Canonized as the god of the ocean, but he cried all day long because he missed his mother after Huang Quan Hirazaka, so he angered his father and was driven out of the ocean where he supported himself..."

Maha's expression changed slightly.

"Later, the Tiancong Yunjian was presented to the Great God Amaterasu by Susanono, and passed on to Tiansun Qiongqiongji, which was passed down from generation to generation at the emperor's office. Subdue the power of the sea dragon."

Aida Yi paused, took a breath and said:

"My Tokyo Tantric Sect has always been entrusted by the Ise Shrine to hide the mirror heart of the sacred artifact Yata Mirror. However, a disciple under the sect took advantage of the fact that the master entered the devil and fled to a foreign country with the artifact. I have separated Yata Mirror from him. If His Royal Highness Prince Ming can help me find Yata Mirror's heart, I am willing to sacrifice 88 living people, and I will also sacrifice this precious sword Tian Congyun to Your Highness…”

Maha smiled slightly and said, "Eight-hand mirror."

He held the Tiancong Cloud Sword and looked at the faint moonlight in the distant sky. Seeing that he seemed to be thinking about something, it took him a long while to hear him say leisurely:

"I have seen this artifact when I traveled in the Six Paths. Its mirror frame is both yin and yang, and it is capricious. Therefore, the huge divine power contained in it is difficult to be controlled by living people. Those who wear the Yata Mirror must meet one condition, that is, to have both The yin and yang two-faced soul must be the soul that has been refined after the death of the incomparably strong yang soul and returned to the human world through the yin world... This is equivalent to the resurrection of the dead, and it is almost impossible."

"No! Please listen to me!" Aida Yoshihide saw that he obviously did not believe, and immediately said eagerly: "After the Yata Mirror was lost, I checked the secret archives of this sect and found that the esoteric sect had already been found in hundreds of years of practice. I have learned the method of refining the Yin-Yang two-faced soul, and the current wearer was personally refined by the old master!"

Seeing that Maha still didn't quite believe it, Aida Yoshi said decisively: "This sect only wants to get Yata Mirror back, if there is a word to deceive Your Highness, please kill me, and then take Tiancong. Cloud, how is it?!"

Maha didn't speak for a long time, just stared at Aida Yoshi, his eyes were cold and did not fluctuate at all.

"It's not necessary." He finally said after a long time, "I forgive you mortals who don't dare."

- Aida Yoshi's dangling heart finally fell back into his chest a little, and only then did he feel a chill on his back. It turned out that he was already sweating heavily in such a severe winter.

"If you didn't lie, just prove it to me." Maha said lazily, "As long as the wearer is brought here, I will be able to cut off the connection between the artifact and him, and then return it to you. ."

Aida Yoshio was a little embarrassed when he heard the words: "But that person has been heavily protected in a foreign country. With our manpower, it is very reluctant to infiltrate him. How can we bring him back to Japan?"

Maha stared at him motionless.

When the Peacock Ming Wang's unparalleled face was expressionless, he was like a statue carved out of ice, and even the slight curvature of the eyebrows was quenched with a sharp cold light.

Under the huge pressure, Aida Yoshi even stopped beating in his heart under the oppression.

"Actually," Maha finally said slowly, his tone calm: "There is a very simple way..."

The next morning, the spa hotel garden.

Yan Lanyu was stupid: "I... I just said casually, what does it have to do with me?!"

In the open-air restaurant in the hotel garden, Chu He, 13 or 14 years old, was sitting at the breakfast table in a white shirt and jeans. His cheeks were as white as water dripping. He held a coffee cup with his slender fingers, and said while swiping his phone: "The truth is related."

"-Tiandaozhihu said that if a person who has accumulated a certain level of merit has never made a wish before, the strong wish that suddenly arises from his heart one day will have a great 'wish power', and the possibility of being realized is very high. If you make multiple wishes at once, the likelihood of fulfillment is related to the difficulty of fulfilling the wish.”

He turned his phone over and pointed to the Tiandaozhihu page to show Yan Lanyu to show that he was not talking nonsense:

"That is to say, the three wishes you made last night are from easy to hard: hotel discounts, I wake up, and time is long. My original deep sleep is not too deep, and your willpower can be regarded as overwhelming the camel. The last straw, as for the hotel discount, it should be no problem... The last one is hard to say, the changes brought about by time belong to the force majeure of the six realms."

Chu He smiled slightly.

Yan Lanyu was stunned, and suddenly Zhou Hui's voice came from outside the restaurant:

"Hahahaha, let me tell you a super funny thing. The owner of this hotel must chase after Li Hu and ask for a discount for us. Hahaha-"

Zhang Shun: "..."

"Actually, how can I show my sincerity when I say only a discount? At least it should be free of charge. It's almost enough to give 20 pieces of a fruit plate of 400 yuan each. I think that the boss looks like a dog. It's us. The one that my sister-in-law likes, or I will leave my sister-in-law here when we go back later, just to avoid the risk of eating and drinking with deputy public funds and being discovered hahaha-"

On the steps of the garden restaurant, Zhou Hui forcibly put his arms around Zhang Shun's shoulders and smiled up to the sky. The laughter was so unrestrained and unrestrained that it made people want to slap the sole of his shoe and slap him on the face.

Zhang Shun's facial muscles twitched strangely, and he gritted his teeth and pushed Zhou Hui away: "No no no, sister-in-law Zhou, I think this is still a bit inappropriate, at least give Li Hu the right to choose..."

Zhou Hui said: "Oh, what a good choice! Li Hu likes this one, it's bold and neat and spends money generously! Brother tells you, Li Hu doesn't have to choose at all, she likes this type the most, keep her and know In the future, I will take the initiative to stay and deal with the hotel owner hahahaha!!!”

Chu He: "..."

Yan Lanyu: "..."

The expression on Zhang Shun's face was indescribable. He seemed to want to slap Zhou Hui away with a fly swatter, and also wanted to grab his hair and carry him away.

After a long while, he finally grabbed Zhou Hui and forcibly hooked his hand, and pushed it away from his shoulder inch by inch. Although the muscles on his face were twisted and he smiled, his voice seemed to be spit out from between his teeth.

"By the way, Brother Zhou, I suddenly remembered that I've known each other for so long, and I haven't invited everyone to dinner. I'm really embarrassed..."

"No, no, you're too polite! How can we eat your meal!"

"No, no, you don't have to ask, you have to ask, you see, we are all a family, why don't we just choose a day, let's just hit the sun today..."

"Oh, what are you doing, what are you doing, being so polite seems like a few brothers are rushing to force you to treat you!"

"Listen to me, listen to me... Brother Zhou!" Zhang Shun finally grabbed Zhou Hui's hand and said in a righteous manner, "Don't say anything, how can you not let me have such a meaningful meal for the first time in the new year? What about me? If there is a discount, will it still show my sincerity? Whoever dares to give me a discount is my enemy! From last night to today, I have covered everyone's consumption in this hotel, Zhou Ge, do you want to do more? Go order two bottles of wine and put them on my account!"

Zhou Hui hurriedly declined, but Zhang Shun couldn't refuse, and as soon as he pushed him away, he ran to the front desk of the hotel.

"Brother-in-law!" Zhou Hui called in vain from behind, ending with nine bends and eighteen bends, moving with the wind to move people's hearts.

In the next second, Zhou Hui turned around, walked into the restaurant humming a tune, grabbed the waiter and said, "Are you serving lobster sashimi this morning? Just two lobsters weighing one kilogram, I'll pack two dozen abalones and take them away, thank you. !"

At the dining table, Yan Lanyu's expression was indescribable. Chu He took a sip of coffee and looked at him sympathetically: "I heard that your Tokyo Tantric Sect is particularly afraid and respected by Zhou Hui... Is that true?"

Judging from Yan Lanyu's expression, it was obvious that he was struggling fiercely in his heart: he really didn't want to lose face, but he couldn't make up his mind to tell lies for a while.

"Idol complex will always be shattered," Chu He patted his hand and said very experienced.

"Dear, how's breakfast?" Zhou Hui walked slowly across the restaurant, leaned over under the strange gazes of other guests not far away, and kissed Chu He's cheek.

Chu He raised his head and kissed Zhou Hui briefly, and said, "I'm talking to Brother Yan about his wish to wake me up."

Phoenix's body is now at the age of thirteen or fourteen, when it is most difficult to tell the age. His hair hasn't grown long, and it can almost cover his ears, revealing a pure blue stone button on his earlobe; his thick black eyelashes droop naturally, and his snow-white side cheeks almost melt in the morning light.

Zhou Hui looked at him with tenderness in his eyes, not knowing that in the eyes of other guests, he had turned into a pedophile.

"—Ah yes, I'm still talking!" Zhou Hui, unaware of the strange gazes from all directions, patted Yan Lanyu's shoulder vigorously: "You child is too honest, you can use such a rare opportunity to make a birthday wish by yourself. I'm still thinking about our little phoenix! Hey, I don't know how to thank you. It's not easy to accumulate the power of wishing. I have saved many years of merit, and I have never won the lottery in wishing..."

Chu He said helplessly: "You don't have merit or virtue at all, right?"

Yan Lanyu realized that she had become an accomplice of pedophiles in the eyes of everyone, and hurriedly got up and stepped back, but Zhou Hui did not let him go: "Hey, you really are a child, why are you so obedient and sensible? If only my son had you Half of it is fine—it’s a pity that you’re a boy, if it’s a girl, I’ll adopt it as a daughter, and half of the property will be inherited to you in the future… It’s such a pity, otherwise I don’t know how to thank you!”

Zhou Hui had a look of regret, and he wished to kill Yan Lanyu on the spot so that he could be reincarnated as a daughter. Yan Lanyu was horrified: "No... no no no, Mr. Zhou, I'm more used to being a boy..."

"Why did Fu Yu find you so lucky? Oh, I have nothing to thank you for." Zhou Hui said amiably, and could not help but take out a few balls of yellow paper from his trousers pocket. When unfolded, they were ghostly drawn like a schoolboy's graffiti. He shoved it into Yan Lanyu's hand.

"This is the peace symbol I drew. The original price is 8,888,888. A swipe of the card will charge an additional two points. In order to express my gratitude, I will give it to you for nothing. Don't be too moved!"

Yan Lanyu: "..."

Yan Lanyu looked at the yellow paper balls in her hand and didn't return to her senses for a while.

When he realized that he was about to give way, he looked up and saw Zhou Hui picked up the little phoenix and walked away like the wind. Looking at the domineering back, he is probably immersed in the character of lolita's development, handsome, gentle, rich and good lover. He has no idea that the reason why others secretly photographed him is not that he is regarded as a movie star, but that he wants to go public. Bo goes to expose this terrifying pervert.

·

The news of Phoenix's return from Nirvana immediately spread throughout the entire special section. Headed by Yu Jingzhong, Wu Bei, Situ, and Jiuweihu came to visit them in turn. Shenwan hugged Chu He and was unwilling to let go. Hui held the back of his neck and threw it down the stairs.

Garuda also came. Before entering the door, he bumped into his father in the corridor. Zhou Hui looked up and down with a strange look on his face and asked, "...Why did you come here wearing this outfit?"

"Isn't it right?" Garuda looked down at his half-new black hoodie, the brand-name jeans he bought at a discount in the mall, and the imitation Li-Ning sneakers that cost 20 yuan a pair from Taobao. He felt that there was nothing wrong.

Do you have to dress up to see your mother? Compared with Maha, it is not easy to clean up yourself, okay

"No no no no no, it's so wrong!" Zhou Hui grabbed Garuda and dragged his son into his room opposite the door in the hallway regardless of resistance. He locked the door with a click, and pulled out a mess of clothes from the closet. The head slammed on Garuda's face: "Change it! When you go to see your mother in the future, you must be smooth and stylish, and dare to say a word of suffering, I will skin you and feed it to the nine-tailed fox!"

"..." Garuda looked at his father wordlessly, and his father looked back at him confidently.

Garuda's forehead twitched slightly, and he finally gave in after a long while: "Okay... okay."

Ten minutes later, Garuda stood in front of Chu He, wearing a big name and looking cramped, like a rural teenager who entered the city for the first time.

Chu He put down "Holding the Corpse" and asked strangely, "What's wrong with you? Why don't you sit?"

Garuda faced the scorching gaze of Zhou Hui in the corner of the room behind him, and said bravely, "No... No, I'll leave in ten minutes. Mom, how are you recently? Do you need anything?"

Chu He laughed: "I don't need anything. Your father and I are planning to go to Buzhoushan recently to clean up the house over there. I can bring back from hell what you need. I think you look good? Stay in the human world. Are you used to it, is Maha?"

An undisguised cold light flashed in Zhou Hui's eyes.

Garuda's tone immediately turned a corner: "Maha is fine! I'm fine too! Twenty snakes eat every day! Never run out of money!"

Chu He: "..."

Chu He stared at his son, and Garuda pinched the corner of his clothes innocently.

"Eating snakes alone is not nutritionally balanced," Chuhe said in a chaotic manner after a while, "You...take time to add some vitamins."

Ten minutes later, Garuda left with hands and feet. With an indescribable expression on his face, Chu He couldn't help asking, "Why do I feel that this child's style of painting is a bit strange?"

Zhou Hui played crushed candy on Chu He's thigh, and said boldly: "It's normal! - Adolescent children are rebellious and sensitive, parents should not ask more questions, but respect their personal privacy! Don't get mentally distorted and grow into a peacock-like devil. Strange people…”

Chu He deeply felt that something was wrong. It seemed that something had happened when he was a little phoenix, but Zhou Hui's expression was completely normal, so he had to leave it alone for the time being.

·

The National Security Special Branch was like a locust crossing the border, and finally set foot on the way home after slaughtering Zhang Shun.

There is still a week left in the Spring Festival holiday, and the romantic soul poet Wu Bei plans to go to Nepal to climb Mount Everest. Shen Wan will go back to his hometown in Tibet with him to visit relatives; Situ Yingzhi invited the nine-tailed fox to go shopping in Hong Kong. Suddenly he wanted to go too.

After Phoenix woke up, Zhang Shun avoided him for some reason. Of course, Chu He didn't know that his brother was just guilty. He thought that when the Buddha returned to the throne, he would not be regarded as a brother who completely relied on him like in the previous life. Therefore, although he was a little lost, he could understand it, so he didn't take the initiative to care more about Zhang. Two less.

Therefore, he also missed the most crucial first-hand information—

Zhang Shun stayed in a hotel in Hong Kong and booked a room with the nine-tailed fox.

Of course, the nine-tailed fox would not take the initiative to tell him. What are you joking about, are you rushing to be stripped of fox skins by the Phoenix Ming Wang

Zhou Hui took Chu He to Hell Buzhou Mountain for their honeymoon, and by the way, packed up the house, and let the eager Phoenix Ming Wang go to the sea of blood to see the child. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law quickly agreed with each other, but they almost didn't raise a handkerchief to say goodbye, which made Chu He feel a little sad, and asked Zhou Hui, "Are they annoying me, why didn't they even call me when I went out to play?"

Zhou Hui showed a rare and kind side at this time. What he said was: "Children have grown up and have their own world, and their personal privacy must be respected..."

·

Zhou Hui and Chu He had to stay in hell for at least half a month before they could come back, and there was no one in the special office, so Yu Jingzhong rushed back to Beijing.

Speaking of which, everyone went on vacation, singing and laughing all the way, and he was the only one who had to go back to Unit 547 to be on duty, which was quite depressing. Fortunately, he was not alone, and Yan Lanyu also went back to Beijing in the same car.

- Yan Lanyu has a driver's license and can drive, but does not own a car. He usually commutes to and from get off work with Yu Jingzhong. Even if he goes out for a late night snack, Yu Jingzhong is habitually working as a driver, which is extremely convenient and easy to use.

Driving back to their home from the outskirts of the city, the road was blocked and stopped for three or four hours. On the way, the old song of Teresa Teng was played in the car. Yu Jingzhong opened the car window on his side and kept smoking in the singing of "I only care about you as time passes by", as if hiding something.

Driving to the downstairs of the community, Yu Jingzhong turned off the brakes, but did not open the door.

Yan Lanyu knew that he finally couldn't hold back what he wanted to say, so she turned her head to look at him.

However, Yu Jingzhong kept playing with the zippo lighter in his hand, rubbing a cigarette around, but he didn't light it. After he stopped talking for at least three or four minutes, he finally coughed: "That... Lan Yu."

Yan Lanyu showed a moderately attentive look, but her eyes were fixed on the lighter.

It is said that when Yu Jingzhong first joined the army, he won the first prize in the army shooting competition. When the old chief was happy, he took it out of his pocket and gave it to him. The meaning of this lighter is even more unusual for the old boss. It was a trophy seized from Soviet prisoners in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam in 1979.

The old chief has a kindness to Jingzhong, and the relationship has always been very good. However, few people know that after Yu Jingzhong was transferred to Guoan, the old chief once wanted to introduce his eldest granddaughter to him, but Yu Jingzhong declined on the grounds that his work was dangerous and his life was precarious.

Just when Yan Lanyu felt that the lighter might catch fire if he continued playing, Yu Jingzhong finally coughed again and said hesitantly:

"That... Lan Yu, what do you think of me?"

Yan Lanyu was stunned for a moment.

Yu Jingzhong stared at a telegraph pole in the distance and said, "I don't have to be the front line now, so I can be a little more secure. Although I eat my salary, but fortunately I have savings and no mortgage, and I don't usually have any hobby to spend money. Once the accident happens, the country will have a pension. Before you were under 18, I felt it was inappropriate to tell you this, but now... I mean, don't have that kind of... psychological pressure."

Yu Jingzhong paused for a while, and suddenly found himself habitually cowardly in front of Yan Lanyu: "No, no, I mean, you should think about our... this possibility. Look at the fact that we have lived together for so long. The time is up, and everything fits together, so it’s fine to continue like this, right? Well, I’m not saying that if you refuse, I can’t live, even if you refuse, I can continue to live… Of course, I’m not encouraging you to refuse. I just want you to be well... think about it carefully."

Poor Yu Jingzhong was about to kneel at his ability to express himself. It was obvious that he was able to hold a report at the Military Commission and faced a bunch of heavyweight old men, but now he made a confession to the eighteen-year-old Yan Lanyu, but he was in a mess.

Yan Lanyu sat quietly in the co-pilot, and began to feel a little empty, and then slowly came up with a mixed and indescribable feeling:

"actually… "

"In short, that's it," Yu Jingzhong hurriedly interrupted him: "I'm not in a hurry, think about it, don't rush to give me an answer. Then I'll go up to cook first, you, you, you, come up after you think about it. "

Deputy Director Yu opened the car door and fled. As a result, I found that the zippo had fallen into the car halfway through, and instinctively wanted to come back to get it; then I stumbled and remembered that there must be a spare lighter at home, so I turned around again and drifted neatly and ran into the building.

——As expected of being a secret agent, the speed of this 100-meter race even Liu Xiang was ashamed to die when he saw it.

Yan Lanyu looked at his back through the car window without blinking.

The young man's silhouette seemed to freeze, and even the arc of the hair tip falling to the corner of his eye was completely still. After an unknown amount of time, he finally moved and sighed almost silently.

"I do," he smiled wryly.

"...I really want to be willing..."

The author has something to say:

To avoid disputes, mark in advance:

The end of the main CP line, Maha's Godhead, and Yu Yan's CP are all in the extra Tokyo chapter

According to the outline, in the Tokyo chapter, Yan Xiaoge accounts for 40% of the plot, Yu Yan’s CP is 20%, and Zhou Chu’s CP is 40%.

If you say it in advance, you can subscribe if you are not the deputy CP of Lei, and you can take a detour according to the chapter summary, so as to avoid the controversy in the national security turmoil chapter.

In addition, Yu Jingzhong is really an uncle in his thirties with a sturdy physique and a neat style. He just consciously made a mistake in front of Yan Lanyu, so he is habitually cowardly!

He really doesn't have a beer belly, nor is he bald, but he has abs! ! !

Chapter 77 In Tokyo, they respectfully call the owner of this name - the head [full chapter related to Yan]

Minmin, the two-year-old daughter of the Yu family, went to take care of the whole family. The nanny washed and cut the vegetables, marinated the fish, cooked the rice, and left.

Yu Jingzhong personally cooked three fresh dishes, steamed a sea bass, and cooked a bone tofu soup; when the rice was served, Yan Lanyu finally went upstairs and put the car key on the cabinet in the entrance without saying a word.

"Let's eat," Yu Fu said, embarrassed to see the expression on Yan Lanyu's face.

The two sat and ate silently, one went to work in the study, and the other used an iPad to check things in the living room. The atmosphere at home was deliberately silent, as if the confession downstairs just now had never happened.

Time passed quickly in silence. When it was time to sleep, Yu Jingzhong returned to his bedroom and peeped through the crack of the door to see that the light in the living room was still on.

… what was he thinking

Deputy Yu sat on the bed and pondered for a while, trying to analyze the current situation with the powerful logical thinking ability of the head of secret agents for many years and intelligence analysis, but his mind was full of confusion, which was more complicated than planning an overseas espionage activity.

Sure enough, my toad wanted to eat swan meat... Yu Fu thought so self-deprecatingly, washed himself into bed and went to sleep.

As a result, in the middle of the night, Yu Jingzhong was awakened by a strange feeling. He opened his eyes in a daze, and saw that Yan Lanyu was sitting beside the bed, leaning over to himself.

Yu Jingzhong sat up stunned, but was pressed down by Yan Lanyu and kissed him. At the same time, his warm fingers seemed to be grasping something sharp and pressed against his chest.

"you… "

The question was submerged in the entanglement of his lips and tongue. Yu Jingzhong's mind was awake and trance-like for a while. He couldn't tell the feeling. In the confusion, he only vaguely felt that the sharp thing had been stabbed into the flesh, and then it was hot and slipped, and it was completely submerged. chest.

… what is this? Is he going to kill me

No, no, if he tried to kill me, I would have already died, this is...

Yu Jingzhong didn't want to think about it anymore. He seemed to have been intoxicated. He raised his hand and grabbed Yan Lanyu completely uncontrollably. The two of them overturned on the big bed at the same time, their naked skin touching each other, causing every nerve ending to tremble with excitement.

"What is that?" Yu Jingzhong reluctantly gathered the last bit of his sanity in his breath, and asked, "What did you bring..."

The curtains in the bedroom were slightly closed, the moonlight shone on the sheets, and Yan Lanyu's eyes flickered with a strange glimmer of light.

"It's Mirror Heart," he said softly.

"It's half my heart."

·

That night Yu Jingzhong dreamed of the sea. He was in the ocean waves and drifted involuntarily with the currents. When the tide was high, he was submerged to the top, and he saw the whale bones slowly opening in the depths of the sea like flowers; when the tide was low, he was lifted out of the water by the gentle waves. Dazzling starlight.

The wind swept across the sea with a slight salty smell, wrapped in a faint voice, as if someone was calling his name.

Yu Jingzhong tried his best to stick his head out of the sea, and a strong impulse from nowhere made him search around, but the sound was intermittent like hide-and-seek, disappearing every time he locked a direction.

When the tide was high, Yu Jingzhong was submerged by the sea, and the painful cry for help sounded again, it seemed that because of the long wait, he became more and more sad and desperate.

"Where are you?"

Yu Jingzhong asked loudly in the sea, but there was only a string of blisters at the exit.

"Who are you?"

The ebb and flow of the tide continued, and the call finally came faintly again.

Yu Jingzhong didn't know where the strength came from, and suddenly tried his best to swim on the surface of the sea, only to see a fire on the water not far away.

A man was tied to a wooden frame in the firelight, naked, blood dripping, his head drooping weakly, and he could not tell whether he was alive or dead.

For some reason, an urge to tremble with anger suddenly swept Yu Jingzhong's heart. He shouted loudly and swam towards the fire, but no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get close to the roaring fire.

The next moment, I saw countless pale and thin ghost claws suddenly stretched out from the sea of fire, rushing to grab the person tied to the wooden frame, and it seemed that he was about to be dragged down into the dark abyss deep in the bottom of the sea...

"Wait!" Yu Jingzhong roared: "Wait, don't!"

The blood was wrapped into a tongue of fire, "Hoo!" and it burned, stretching into an endless fiery hell. The man was about to fall into it, and at the last second he raised his head and looked at Yu Jingzhong in the distant sea.

At that moment, the picture was frozen, and I saw his face was very familiar.

- That is Yan Lanyu who has grown up!

Yu Jingzhong was stunned. The next second, the tsunami rose to the ground and crashed down, pushing him into the abyss!

·

"-what!"

Yu Jingzhong sat up suddenly, unable to open his eyes in an instant due to the bright light.

I saw that the sky was already bright, and there was a sound of birdsong outside. It snowed last night, and the sun reflected a dazzling white light on the snow.

Yu Jingzhong gasped slightly, and after a while, rolled over to the ground and stepped on the floor with his bare feet leaving wet footprints. Only then did he realize that his whole body was soaked in cold sweat.

He walked to the bathroom, looked at his face in the mirror, and subconsciously remembered the dream again.

Yan Lanyu grew up...

Yu Jingzhong washed his face with cold water, then he felt sober, and turned his head to look at the messy big bed in the bedroom.

Although the incomparably real nightmare just now left a shadow in his subconscious, Yan Lanyu's actions last night... should mean he agreed.

Yu Jingzhong rubbed his temples, washed and shaved quickly, changed his shirt and trousers, pushed open the door and walked out on tiptoe. When he passed Yan Lanyu's bedroom, he looked inside and was surprised to find that no one was there.

Where did you go

"morning."

Yu Jingzhong turned his head sharply and saw Yan Lanyu sitting at the breakfast table with porridge, pickles and poached eggs on the table.

"Early... early."

Yu Jingzhong coughed, walked to the dining table and sat down, only to see Yan Lanyu holding an iPad and didn't know what to check.

He will also be on duty in Unit 547 later, but he doesn't have as many restrictions on clothing as Yu Jingzhong, so he casually wears a light gray sweater, and the neck exposed at the neckline looks extra delicate and fair, almost dazzling.

"This... is this what you did?"

"Um."

Yu Jingzhong drank two mouthfuls of porridge, and reacted with hindsight: "Have you eaten?"

"Um."

The atmosphere returned to a slightly awkward silence. Yu Fu wanted to say something, but was too embarrassed to say it, wanted to flirt but couldn't. He had to concentrate on eating breakfast, put the tableware and chopsticks away, grabbed the car key and said, "Then let's go first..."

"I have something to tell you."

Yu Jingzhong was stunned for a moment, only to see Yan Lanyu put down the ipad. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of an advertisement for a house on the Fourth Ring Road in Beijing!

"I am very grateful for what you said to me yesterday, and I have thought about it for a long time. I am very willing to maintain the current state with you, but there is no way to go further to the relationship between lovers... This is good for you and me. "

Yu Jingzhong was a little stunned, and it took a few seconds to react: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Yan Lanyu did not answer.

"What you mean is, you don't want to live seriously with me, but are willing to maintain a relationship with gun friends?" Yu Jingzhong was confused: "What do you think?"
