After Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng returned to school, Qianqi knew that he could not go with them. Although he was unwilling to do so, he remembered that his father's body had not fully recovered, so he could take this opportunity to return to Dongyao temporarily. He felt a little regretful about saying goodbye to his father in a hurry because he accompanied Xia Qiu back to the human world to search for the lost memories of Yu Hexian Ren. Besides, he could also take this opportunity to get some guidance from his father in terms of magic and other aspects.
Ouyang Xiaoleng had been thinking about taking Xia Qiu around the Yuheng Palace for a long time. It was still early after the sports meeting, so the two of them returned to the Chenji Palace in the Demon Realm King City. He led her through the quiet courtyard and into the room that had once belonged to his parents and was now occupied by him.
I don't know why Xia Qiu suddenly felt a strong sense of disobedience as soon as she stepped into this room, as if she had been here before. She guessed that this might be another sign of soul separation, so she didn't pay too much attention to it. She looked at the furnishings in the room carefully. Neither the furniture nor the decorations were complicated. On the contrary, they looked too simple and elegant. It could also be seen that she had lived here. The character of the owner, the curtains are mainly white, and the furniture is all made of rosewood. I don’t know how many years it has been there, but it still exudes a strange fragrance. After smelling this fragrance, my steps became heavier and heavier, and I finally fell there and died. Awareness.
A woman with beautiful appearance and refined temperament holds a baby that looks like a full moon in her arms, sitting on a chair beside the round table in the center of the outer room. The child is always smiling, even when she is asleep, the corners of her mouth are still raised. A man came from the side and looked at the baby in the woman's arms carefully, then reached out and touched his little face playfully. The man's appearance and behavior were exactly the same as Ouyang Xiaoleng, if not for being slightly older. , and his expression is much colder and softer, making Xia Qiu difficult to recognize at all.
"It will be the New Year as soon as Xiao Leng is full moon. His full moon ceremony can be held together with the New Year celebration. You can also take advantage of the opportunity to have fun!" The man in white bent down and put a hand gently on the woman's shoulder. On her head, the long uncombed hair at the temples crossed the woman's face.
"Well, look, he's laughing again. This kid really loves to laugh." The woman replied in a daze, looking at the baby in her arms.
Xia Qiu thought that the two people in front of her were Ouyang Xiaoleng's parents, Ouyang Xueye and Ran Susu. They were so young, not much older than herself, and they looked so in love. She knew that they couldn't see her, so she couldn't help but walked over and looked carefully at Ouyang Xiaoleng, who was still a baby. At that time, he really loved to laugh. Under the pampering of his parents, he was so happy, and she couldn't help but Thinking of his changes in the future, I couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
She really does look like her father Ouyang Xueye, almost like a replica, except that Xueye's outline is slightly softer than his, and her pupils are lighter than his, her expression is elegant and indifferent, and she looks handsome as she talks and laughs. And Xiao Leng's mother has a fresh and refined beauty, which is a beauty that is not mixed with the slightest bit of coquettishness, like a noble lotus or an proud plum. At this moment, she is holding her child so tenderly and lovingly, with a smile on her face. It’s all the joy of being a first-time mother.
The picture in her vision gradually blurred, and Ouyang Xiaoleng's call came to her ears, gradually pulling her back from the state of soul separation. She suddenly fell to the ground just now, which startled him. He hurriedly carried her to the couch, thinking that if she couldn't wake up for a while, he would call someone. He looked at her and couldn't guess what she was dreaming about. Tears actually fell from the corners of her gently closed eyes, which made him even more worried. Not knowing what to do, I had to shake her gently and call her name.
Seeing her finally opening her eyes and waking up, he felt more at ease and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xia Qiu didn't answer, she just propped up her body and reached out to gently hug his shoulders. He was so caring, just like the one she saw when her soul left Ran Susu. She was afraid that mentioning what she saw would arouse his feelings. Sad, so for a long time, I didn't know what to do except hold him.
When her mood calmed down, she turned the topic to some of the methods of soul separation that she had learned from Yuhe Immortal on Changsheng Island. In fact, during that time on Changsheng Island, the number of soul separations she had started to become more and more frequent. It's happening more and more often, but I still can't completely control it.
According to Yuzuru Sennin, the method of soul separation varies from person to person, and she was wondering if the method of integrating into nature was not completely applicable to her. He also said that in addition to integrating yourself into nature, you can also integrate yourself into feelings and emotions. The stronger the feelings, the easier it is to successfully escape from the soul. At present, she seems to be more important than the latter. In fact, perhaps it is because humans are animals that are easier to absorb external emotions and other people's emotions, and her delicate sensitivity is the key to her soul separation. In this way, it must be because Ouyang Xiaoleng's parents spent a lot of time in love here, their feelings have been preserved in this space, and he was affected by this strong emotion.
Seeing that Xia Qiu didn't answer his question directly, Ouyang Xiaoleng roughly guessed that she must have seen the scene in this house at a certain time in the past, probably when his parents lived here, so he didn't Ask again.
Xia Qiu suddenly recalled that when he passed away, he heard Ouyang Xueye say that Ouyang Xiaoleng's full moon was the New Year, so Xiaoleng's birthday should be very close. In the past, he heard Ouyang Hongye say that Ouyang Xiaoleng never wanted to Birthday. Now that I think about it, his parents passed away shortly after his birthday, and I suddenly realized that this must be the reason why he didn't want to celebrate his birthday. She thought that although her mother died young and her father was never around, her grandparents never forgot her birthday. Later, after she and Liu Lingmei became good friends, she would celebrate every birthday for herself. Compared with Ouyang Xiao Leng was much happier, and she wanted to celebrate his birthday in her own way no matter what.
I asked from Ouyang Hongye that Ouyang Xiaoleng's birthday is December 1st. According to him, the day before Xiao Leng was born, Xue Ye felt that the weather in Yongchuan, the royal city, had become colder again, and the first snow of that winter fell at night. He suddenly remembered what his father Li Zeng said about the time when he was born. It also happened to be snowing that night, so I had some premonitions. Sure enough, Su Su gave birth to Xiao Leng the next morning. During the time when I stood alone in the white snow on a snowy night waiting for Xiao Leng to be born, I don’t know whether it was because of the excitement in my heart or because the sun was rising higher and higher. Although I felt that the weather was not so cold in the snow, I walked into it. When I saw the new-born baby in the house, his skin was like white snow bathed in the morning light, so I made up my mind to name the baby Xiao Leng. Although it was cold, it was not cold, and the falling snow was still sunny.
Xia Qiu bought the ingredients a day in advance and baked a cake with her own hands under the guidance of her grandma. And I wrote him a card in advance and asked him to have dinner at Huayu Western Restaurant at 7pm on December 1st. She had been hesitating about what kind of gift to give him. Now that he was the Lord of the Demon Realm, he didn't lack anything. Perhaps only a simple but thoughtful gift could make him happier. She remembered that she had learned how to weave bracelets with Liu Lingmei in the past, so she chose red and black ropes and paired them with a round silver pendant engraved with his name to make a bracelet. Although it was not expensive, it was Her feelings for him.
That night, she specially changed into a dress. The dress was something she had insisted on buying when she went shopping with Liu Lingmei. The white floral flowers on a blue background matched her skin tone very well. Before going out, she deliberately took a look in front of the mirror for a while. I hesitated for a long time whether to tie my hair up or loosen it, but finally decided to tie it into a ponytail. Looking at herself in the mirror, there was a blush on her cheeks and she was a little shy. When she told Liu Lingmei that she was going to celebrate Ouyang Xiaoleng's birthday, she joked that this was actually a date, so this was her first date. My heart beats faster when I think of this
Ouyang Hongye also told her about the place Huayu Western Restaurant. It is the oldest Western restaurant in Yongchuan. It is said that Ouyang Xiaoleng's parents used to go there often. The owner of the restaurant is already very old. After such a long time, he still has an impression of Ouyang Xueye and Ran Susu. When he saw Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng, he suddenly misunderstood them and thought they were Ouyang Xiaoleng. parents, but later they thought it was impossible. After all, after so many years, how could they not age at all.
The boss led them to the place where Ouyang Xueye and Su Su used to sit. The old record player in the restaurant was playing episodes from classic old movies. Each dining table was decorated with a vase with a pink rose. The fragrance floats lightly in the air. She lit the candles, sang happy birthday to him in the candlelight, then watched him blow out the candles, and then gave the bracelet she made to him with the mood of a deer. She couldn't remember how many times he smiled that night. There was always a smile in his eyes. They looked at each other with rare tenderness and a subtle feeling flowing in the air, making them unable to help but keep making Western food. The store is closed.
December is here in the blink of an eye, and the whole school is immersed in the atmosphere of welcoming Christmas and New Year. Every class and every club in the school is also preparing for the party. The party is scheduled for the 31st. Starting from the morning, all students in the school watch the performances of the choir, dance team and drama club in the auditorium, and continue the party in their respective classes in the afternoon. The closer to the day of the party, the less everyone was in the mood to go to class. Fortunately, there was only half a day of class the day before the party. Xia Qiu stayed in the afternoon to help Liu Lingmei, Du He and the others decorate the classroom. Surprisingly, Xiao Leng also stayed.
Du He and a few boys laughed and used the inflator to inflate the balloons. From time to time, he would blow up a few deliberately. Liu Lingmei couldn't bear it anymore, so she angrily put down the ribbons and latte art she was cutting and ran over.
"Why are you leading this big guy to fool around?" Liu Lingmei yelled at him, her voice sounding so delicate even when she was angry.
"Don't be so serious. It's New Year, just be happy!" Du He laughed while blocking Liu Lingmei's little fist from reaching out to hit him.
"Xiao Qiu, come and tell me about him!" Liu Lingmei turned around and complained to Xia Qiu.
Xia Qiu looked at the two of them and shook her head helplessly. After returning to school, she felt that there seemed to be subtle changes in the relationship between Liu Lingmei and Du He, but she couldn't explain the details. The two of them often quarreled in the past, but the feeling when they were quarreling was completely different from now. Even though Liu Lingmei was angry on the surface, her voice was full of sweetness. The boys gathered around them and coaxed her, and she looked at them from a distance, also Smell the breath of happiness.
