Zichen returned by himself.
He returned to the house, glanced out of the corner of his eye, and saw the sour spirit fruit that he had washed not long ago on the table, and stopped in his tracks.
Then, he walked to the table and sat down. His long and well-jointed fingers stretched out lazily, and he pinched the largest and plump sour spirit fruit and put it into his lips.
He opened a book casually, with a leisurely posture, just like every day before, staying alone quietly.
After a while, he took his eyes away from the book and glanced out the window.
Empty and deserted.
There was no expression on his face, and he lowered his eyes again.
Tuanzi used to like to go to Fengyou Valley to play. Now that he finally got out, of course he will stay there for a long time.
He turned a page.
Time passed slowly, and he ate a lot of the sour spirit fruit on the plate.
After reading a book, Zichen felt a little bored, so he got up and went to the bookshelf to change another one.
When he walked past the window, he seemed to look outside unconsciously.
It was silent, not a soul in sight.
He paused, looked away, then turned around and sat back down.
Lowering his head to open the book, his eyelashes twitched slightly.
It's actually the same book as before.
At that moment, he didn't know what happened. He actually forgot about his original plan to exchange books and came back with this one.
He stared at the book for a few times and finally threw it aside.
He rubbed his temples and planned to take a nap.
When he opened his eyes again, warm orange light poured in from the window.
He narrowed his eyes slightly in discomfort, and for a moment, he concentrated.
It was dusk now.
The sun was setting in the west, and only half of the sunset remained. Hidden behind the clouds in the sky, a few rays of light shone through.
Half of the sky was dyed in magnificent colors.
Zi Chen half-reclined in the chair, looking at this beautiful and exquisite thing, and was stunned for a moment.
Immediately, he seemed to remember something and turned back to look into the room.
"Duango?"
The cold, low voice echoed in the room, making the place seem increasingly deserted.
No one responded.
That is - not back yet.
In fact, there is no need to ask this question. With Zichen's current strength, all movements within this radius cannot escape his eyes.
Therefore, he knew very well that not only did Tuanzi not return to the house, he didn't even return to the mountain.
Really not even a shadow was seen.
He was silent for a moment and looked towards the horizon again.
After a while, he bent his index finger and tapped it lightly on the table.
very good.
Looks like you've gone crazy for fun
He held his breath, and from the corner of his eye, he saw that most of the sour spirit fruit was still on the table.
In just a moment, he took action without hesitation, slowly but firmly putting the sour spirit fruit into his mouth one after another.
It seemed that he had no intention of staying at all.
It wasn't until the sunset completely set, hiding in the mountains and forests, and a deep twilight fell, that Tuanzi came back with unfinished thoughts.
She walked on the road in the mountains with light steps and a smile on her lips, as if she was very happy.
The lively and joyful atmosphere made the young man following her couldn't help laughing.
"Tuanzi, are you happy?"
Tuanzi nodded:
"Of course! You don't even know how I spent my time there!"
In fact, at that time, all her mind and energy were focused on repairing the Phoenix Temple, and she was not too aware of the passage of time.
Now that I have come out, I realize it later and think about how pitiful I am.
She had never been one to wrong herself, so she immediately arranged a hundred ways to compensate herself.
Although she has not yet figured out how to come up with those hundred kinds.
But that's not important!
The dumpling was in high spirits, and his heart was filled with joy and excitement.
Yi Ming looked at her, and the girl smiled like a flower.
He chuckled and asked:
"So, did you have fun in Fengyou Valley today?"
Tuanzi laughed and nodded.
"I've been busy with things before, and I haven't had much fun!"
I followed Yi Ming and the others today. They are all of the same age and have good relationships, so they get along very lively.
Yi Ming paused, his heart beating faster. After thinking for a while, he said:
"That-"
As soon as the sentence started, Tuanzi seemed to notice something and suddenly raised his head and looked forward.
Under dusk, a figure was standing in front of the door.
There seemed to be a layer of coldness surrounding the tall and straight figure, which made people feel awe in their hearts unconsciously.
The pair of indifferent and deep eyes looked towards this side, their eyes were very light and did not seem to contain any emotion.
However, Yi Ming felt his heart tighten inexplicably, as if his thoughts were being seen through.
The words in his throat suddenly became unspeakable for some unknown reason.
However, Tuanzi was not afraid of this, and instead waved happily.
"Zi Chen! I'm back!"
Zichen just glanced at Yi Ming, and his eyes quickly fell back on Tuanzi.
Yi Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but deep down in his heart, he was still a little cautious.
Zichen asked quietly:
"You are no longer a child, so you still need to trouble others to send him back?"
Yi Ming was stunned, and then he opened his mouth to explain: "No-"
Tuanzi was also stunned for a moment.
He looked at Zichen and then at Yiming.
"Zi Chen, Yi Ming lives very close to us, and he just dropped me off on his way back! They all said it's dark and it's not easy to walk—"
In the dark night, Zichen seemed to laugh.
His voice sounded a little lazy.
"You are the young master of the Crimson Gold Tianfeng Clan. Now even the Phoenix Temple has been restored by you yourself. Isn't it possible for you to come and go freely here?"
Tuanzi was stunned for a moment and then came back to his senses.
"Yeah too"
When she was about to come back, everyone said so, so she didn't think too much and followed Yi Ming.
Now that I think about it, she is indeed not a child anymore, so who else can send her to her
Immediately afterwards, I heard Zichen say softly:
“Since you feel it’s difficult to leave after dark, then from now on, you’ll come back before dark.”
He has a cold temperament and his tone of voice never contains any unnecessary emotion.
So when I heard these words, I heard them sound somewhat irresistible and majestic.
Tuanzi had long been accustomed to his tone, but when he heard this condition, his face fell.
"Huh? But I-"
She finally managed to grow up, and now she rarely has any leisure time. How could she be restricted like this
Before she finished speaking, she saw Zi Chen casually take a sour spirit fruit and feed it to his mouth.
Her eyes suddenly lit up and she rushed over.
"Ah! My fruit!"
All her thoughts were on food, and she even forgot to say goodbye to Yi Ming.
Arriving in front of Zichen, she raised her face:
"Zi Chen, where is mine? Where is mine?"
Zichen bit into the fruit, and the rich juice spread between her lips and teeth.
He spoke slowly:
"This is the last one."
Tuanzi: "."
Zi Chen raised his chin.
"I sent you back and you still don't thank me."
Tuanzi bid farewell to Yi Ming languidly, his eyes not lingering for long.
After eating a little too much, Zichen touched the tip of his tongue to the roof of his mouth, feeling that the roots of his teeth were sore.
He looked at the young man not far away and said casually and coldly:
"Thank you for sending our dumplings back."
"But I won't need it anymore."
