Ruan Qiuping: “…”

Ruan Qiuping lowered his head and muttered softly: "Then you have to discuss it with me."

Xia Fushui glanced at him and said, "Is it useful to discuss this with you? Do you have the ability to refuse? How many of the nineteen thunderbolts can you withstand?"

Ruan Qiuping: "... five... seven... eight! I think I can get eight."

Xia Fushui: "I think you will fall down in three days!"

Ruan Qiuping: “…”

Xia Fushui glanced at Ruan Dongdong, who was squatting in the vegetable garden not far away and watching the ants, and said softly: "But compared to Dongdong, you are indeed more qualified."

After Xia Fushui finished speaking, she walked past Ruan Qiuping and went to find Ruan Dongdong.

Ruan Qiuping couldn't see Xia Fushui's expression, but he could hear the disappointment in her tone.

He lowered his head, and pressed the knuckles of his thumbs with his fingers, which made him feel pain. He opened his mouth and finally whispered, "... Mom, I'm sorry."

Xia Fushui paused for a moment, she turned her head and looked at Ruan Qiuping, her delicate face without any unnecessary expression: "Don't you look down on me?"

Ruan Qiuping: "... I know that you have always wanted to facilitate the marriage of Dongdong and Jixiang."

That's why she wanted to bring Dongdong down to earth, that's why she went to the trading forest to buy beautiful clothes for Dongdong, that's why she taught Dongdong etiquette... But in the end, he was the one who was closest to Ji.

Xia Fushui frowned slightly: "Did you do something wrong?"

Ruan Qiuping was stunned for a moment, then said hesitantly, "I... I ruined your plan."

"Is that your fault?"

"... I... Because I am unlucky, this kind of thing happened."

Xia Fushui looked at Ruan Qiuping quietly and said, "Ruan Qiuping, you can apologize for anything, but you can't apologize for being unlucky."

"Because it's not your fault."

Ruan Qiuping's lips trembled slightly, but he didn't say anything.

A gust of wind blew by, making the leaves in the courtyard rustle. The yellow leaves fluttered down, and one or two of them landed on Ruan Qiuping's shoulders.

Xia Fushui stretched out her hand and used her magic power to brush away the fallen leaves on Ruan Qiuping's shoulders with a cold expression: "Do you remember?"

Only when she saw Ruan Qiuping nodded did she relax her frown and turned away.

Watching Xia Fushui's back as she left, Ruan Qiuping slowly stretched out his hand and touched his shoulder. Ruan Shengfeng was a natural immortal, while Xia Fushui was a transformed immortal. Xia Fushui's original form was a hibiscus flower, so the shape of the spell she cast was also a large lotus petal. Just now, when Xia Fushui brushed away the fallen leaves for him, the lotus petal swept across Ruan Qiuping's shoulder, gently and softly, as if being caressed by a mother's hand.

The corners of Ruan Qiuping's lips curled up slightly, and he smiled happily.

It was time for his daily "practice" again. Ruan Qiuping lay down on the pile of fallen leaves on the back hill and thought about life.

So... not long after Yu Huan comes back from his ordeal, he will marry Yu Huan

It feels so weird...

Ruan Qiuping rolled in the pile of fallen leaves.

He originally didn't know how to define his relationship with Yu Huan, but now it's all right, he can just define them as partners.

Ruan Qiuping suddenly remembered that Yu Huan would be sealed after he returned from his tribulation. At that time, Yu Huan was a real auspicious person, and his magic power was boundless. He would not be afraid of this little bit of bad luck on him, which meant... didn't it mean that he could contact Yu Huan at will? !

Ruan Qiuping had never dared to think about getting married, but he never thought that he would actually have a partner now!

And this is not just an ordinary partner, this is a partner you can touch at will!!!

Ruan Qiuping's face suddenly turned red, and he rolled on the ground for the first time, but this time, he was obviously happy.

Ruan Qiuping picked up a maple leaf beside him and lightly covered his face with it.

Wait a moment!

Ruan Qiuping took off the maple leaf on his face and thought about a serious question. No one had told him just now that if two male immortals were together, would they be struck by heavenly thunder? If so, how many thunders would they be struck by? !

He can't bear too much!

But who should I ask about this kind of thing

Ruan Qiuping racked his brains for a while and finally thought of a way to get the information - the communication mirror!

As a common fairy tool in the fairy world, the communication mirror has become extremely popular since its appearance. The fairies call the inquiries and exchanges conducted in the communication mirror "communication on the mirror."

This magical device, developed thousands of years ago, is slightly similar to human machines.

Ruan Qiuping immediately couldn't sit still anymore, so he used instant movement and went straight back to his room to look for his communication mirror.

Ruan Qiuping was also fascinated by "communication on the mirror" for a while, because people there didn't know he was a bad guy, so no one excluded him, which was a very good feeling. But more than 70 years ago, a friend who usually chatted well with him seemed to know his identity and suddenly started to attack and insult him. Ruan Qiuping was sad for a long time at that time, and he never opened the communication mirror again since then.

Ruan Qiuping searched for more than twenty minutes before he found the communication mirror in a dusty box under the bed.

Ruan Qiuping cleaned the communication mirror and turned it on again. A lot of messages immediately popped up on it, but they were messages from more than several decades ago.

Ruan Qiuping took a quick look and found that most of the messages were from the same "friend" who cursed him. Occasionally there were one or two messages from strangers. They said something like this: "I heard that talking to Meixi will bring bad luck. Will communicating with Meixi on camera also bring bad luck? Let's try it, hehe."

Ruan Qiuping felt sad when he read these remarks at that time, but now he doesn't feel anything at all. He even thinks that the sarcastic interjection after this sentence is quite funny.

He deleted the message with one click, and then concentrated on "Communication Roots" and searched "Should two male immortals be struck by lightning when they are together?"

But he changed a few keywords and didn't find a "chat tree". He only found an anonymous old tree from decades ago: "What should I do if I find that the ambiguous communication on the mirror is of the same sex? So disgusting, I want to kill him." But Ruan Qiuping flipped through the chat tree from beginning to end and didn't see anyone saying whether two male fairies would be struck by thunder when they were together.

Ruan Qiuping thought about it and decided to plant a chat tree himself.

But remembering the experience of being chased and scolded more than 70 years ago, Ruan Qiuping changed his nickname just in case.

He was very cautious when choosing a nickname, and it took him two whole days to choose "Swing". Now he just casually changed it to "I have something to ask". Then, he immediately planted a chat tree: "Will homosexual immortals be struck by lightning together? Waiting online, very urgent".

After a while, he got the reply: No. It was used decades ago, but it has been reformed in recent years and is no longer used.

Ruan Qiuping patted his chest and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That’s great! He doesn’t have to be struck by lightning and suffer a terrible death on his wedding day.

Ruan Qiuping thanked the person who answered the question and prepared to exit the on-camera communication immediately.

Just at this moment, a new message suddenly popped up in his private forest farm.

When Ruan Qiuping returned to the forest farm, he found that the person who sent the message was actually the "friend" who had scolded him for several months more than 70 years ago - Qi Mantian!

Ruan Qiuping's heart skipped a beat and he opened the news fearfully.

Qi Mantian actually sent him the post he had just posted, "Will gay immortals suffer from the thunderbolt together? Waiting online, very urgent," and added a note: Is that you

Ruan Qiuping: "?!!!"

So fast, he changed his name, how could this person still find him? !

Seventy years have passed, is there an end? ! !

Ruan Qiuping originally wanted to say that he had grown up and was no longer afraid of being scolded, but then he thought, what if this person's mouth became even more vicious after 70 years

At this moment, Ruan Qiuping suddenly noticed a small red dot in the upper left corner of the mirror. After he clicked on it, a new function "cutting down" appeared on it, with an explanation next to it: after using the cutting down function, the other party cannot send you messages or enter your forest garden.

Fearing that this person's abusive remarks would come back the next second, Ruan Qiuping hurriedly clicked on this new function and cut down the flags all over the sky.

Comfortable!

Ruan Qiuping stretched, turned off the AC mirror and threw it back into the drawer.

He hummed softly and took out the good deeds record book from the shelf.

He filled his pen with ink because he felt there were so many good things to write about today.

Although auspicious things bring good luck, the luck on these things is limited. After a long time, the good luck on them will naturally disappear.

Therefore, Ruan Qiuping planned to get a new "amulet" for Yu Huan before descending to the mortal world every day. Fortunately, there were still some fragments of the water cup in Ji's trash can, and together with some other things, it should be able to last for a while.

After taking the fragments, Ruan Qiuping moved quickly to Guanchen Gate. He came too early, Siming had not arrived yet, and there were only Qiyue and Ruan Qiuping in front of Guanchen Gate.

"There is no leader inspecting today, so you don't have to go down." Qi Yue said.

Ruan Qiuping kicked the steps and said, "I want to go by myself."

"Why?" Qi Yue asked expressionlessly, "Aren't you afraid that your bad luck will bring unexpected events to Yu Huan?"

Ruan Qiuping paused for a moment and said, "... I have my own solution, and I won't let Yu Huan have any accidents."

"Actually, an accident is fine." Qi Yue seemed to chuckle, "If the mortal Yu Huan died in an accident, wouldn't he be able to return to heaven early and marry you?"

Ruan Qiuping frowned, feeling that Qi Yue was speaking in a sarcastic tone today.

"Ruan Qiuping!" Jingyang's voice came from not far away. He was dragging Chen Hai towards them, his eyes sparkling.

Seeing other people coming, Qi Yue walked away silently.

Ruan Qiuping glanced at Chen Hai, who was being dragged on the ground like a dead pig, and asked, "What happened to him?"

"Nothing." Jing Yang said, "He just gets particularly hungry a few days every month."

"Let's act together today!" Jing Yang asked.

Ruan Qiuping nodded: "Of course."

"I hope it won't disturb you?" Jingyang blinked and said in a low voice.

“… No, it’s better if you guys come.”

"Why?"

Ruan Qiuping's ears turned red, and he didn't know how to explain it.

He only went there for one day yesterday, but he had already fully appreciated Yu Huan's enthusiasm and vitality.

He really couldn't imagine to what extent he could resist if he was alone with Yu Huan today.

To be honest, he didn't particularly dislike close contact with Yu Huan, it's just... it's just that he has never been so close to anyone, and this person is the little Yu Huan he watched grow up. Although for Yu Huan, decades have passed, but according to Ruan Qiuping's memory, the last time they met, Yu Huan was just a 17-year-old boy. Pushing the time even further, the Yu Huan he met more than half a month ago was just a child who had just grown to his waist.

So every time Yu Huan... every time he kissed him too much, he felt something strange, an indescribable shame and weirdness.

Ruan Qiuping felt that he seemed to need some time to adapt to the change in his relationship with Yu Huan, but as a day in heaven is as long as a year on earth, Yu Huan simply couldn't wait.

Through the Guanchen Gate, they were transported to the mortal world.

The moment I opened my eyes, large areas of blue came into view.

"Ah! The sea!" Chen Hai, who had just been lifeless, too hungry to walk, and needed someone to support him, suddenly came alive again and ran towards the sea happily, "Here I come, big crab! Here I come, big lobster! Here I come, an underwater feast!!!"

Jingyang followed Chen Hai and ran over, while Ruan Qiuping looked down for Yu Huan within a hundred meters.

After a while, Ruan Qiuping spotted Yu Huan's trace in the glass sea view room about 80 meters behind him.

The entire glass wall was large, bright and spotless. Ruan Qiuping could clearly see Yu Huan's eyebrows and eyes through the glass.

Yu Huan was looking at Ruan Qiuping sideways, sitting at a table not far away and answering the phone.

It seemed that he had encountered some difficult situation. He untied his tie. Although his expression was still calm, his frowning brows still revealed that he was not in a very optimistic mood.

Ruan Qiuping couldn't hear what he said, but he could see the anger in the way he put down the phone.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Huan's door was opened, and a series of senior executives in suits walked in.

After they came in, they called out "Mr. Yu", then lowered their heads, bent their waists slightly, looked grim, and looked extremely nervous.

Yu Huan glanced at them, picked up the crutch beside him, stood up, and walked step by step towards one of the men who kept wiping his sweat.

He stopped and looked down at the man.

He clearly didn't say anything and didn't do anything, but his tall and straight figure and dark and unfathomable eyes gave people an indescribable sense of oppression.

He was silent for a long time before he said lightly, "What?" But the man was suddenly frightened and started shaking all over.

Yu Huan turned around, as if preparing to take a document from the glass cabinet next to him.

But as soon as he touched the document, he stopped again.

Seeing the shadow cast by the glass cabinet, he turned around abruptly and looked at Ruan Qiuping outside the glass wall.

Ruan Qiuping waved and greeted him.

A smile suddenly broke out on Yu Huan's face, his eyes sparkled and his complexion was bright and beautiful.

Then he picked up the cane beside him and walked quickly towards Ruan Qiuping.

— and then ran headfirst into a glass wall.

Ruan Qiuping: “…”

The executive behind him: “…”

Yu Huan rubbed his head, but a clear and transparent smile was still on his face, as if he was not at all unhappy.

While looking at Ruan Qiuping, he changed direction and walked quickly towards the door.

Ruan Qiuping followed him forward, but before he walked out of the front door of the sea view room, Yu Huan came out from somewhere, and the joy on his face seemed to be uncontrollable.

Yu Huan's steps became faster and faster. When he was five meters away from Ruan Qiuping, he let go of the crutch in his hand and rushed towards Ruan Qiuping.

It’s still a familiar reunion in memory.

Ruan Qiuping smiled and opened her arms, welcoming his hug with familiarity.

But the expected hug did not come. Yu Huan locked his waist tightly with his right hand and forced him to step back.

Ruan Qiuping was caught off guard by this sudden action, and his quick retreat almost made him stagger. Fortunately, Yu Huan held his waist tightly, almost lifting him into the air, so he did not fall.

Ruan Qiuping was forced back to the palm tree behind him, his entire back pressed tightly against the rough, uneven trunk. He opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, his chin was lifted up and an impatient kiss was placed on it, almost robbing him of all the air.

Behind them were the blue sky, clouds and sea, and around them were huge palm trees and banana trees. They stood under the palm trees, and the broad leaves of the banana trees beside them drooped down, covering most of their figures.

Yu Huan pushed Ruan Qiuping against the tree trunk, as if a traveler in the desert had found sweet dew or a dying man had met the sun. They kissed each other in an inseparable way, unable to control their emotions.
