July 31st, Saturday, 2:40am.
Beiquan quietly touched the "Santuchuan", opened the door carefully, looked at no one in the room, then heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and closed the door.
"I'm home."
Suddenly, a crisp childish voice sounded from behind.
Beiquan was so frightened that he almost threw the umbrella out, turned around and picked up the four heads and half of Dundun's body, and stretched out his hands to cover his mouth.
"Shh!"
He lowered his voice and threatened viciously:
"If Zhu Ling is disturbed, I-"
Tian Zai raised his head to look at Beiquan, his small eyes flashed, and his face was harmless to humans and animals.
He reached out and pointed to the ceiling.
Beiquan understood and let Tian raise his salary.
The two silently touched the stairs like thieves, all the way to the roof.
This is the site of Tian's salary increase.
His body is a plant of Tianqi, and he needs food and dew, sun and moon essence to continue to practice, so Beiquan specially gave him the balcony.
The children with a higher salary don't take themselves as outsiders at all, and directly built a greenhouse here, which is full of various medicinal plants. Usually, except for helping Beiquan, he spends his time in the greenhouse. .
Today is the 23rd day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, the last quarter moon, and the moonlight is dim.
However, Tian Jiaxing still sits cross-legged in the dark, raising his head to breathe.
Beiquan glanced sideways at Tian Raisean, and secretly felt admiration in his heart.
God knows how the fat-armed and short-legged kid with a raised salary managed to perform such a difficult cross-legged movement as the "lotus plate".
"call!"
Tian Jiaxing took a deep breath, released his clasped hands and placed them on his knees, then raised his head and said to Beiquan in a very old-fashioned tone:
"Beiquan, you just went to see Xiaowei?"
Beiquan didn't answer and asked, "How did you find out that I was out?"
As he said that, he squinted his eyes, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes:
"Did Zhu Ling instruct you?"
Tian Jiaxing grinned, revealing two rows of small white teeth as neat as grains of rice.
"That's right."
He answered quite frankly:
"Zhu Ling asked me to help me keep an eye on it these days, so I hung a little something on the door."
Beiquan understood.
80% of Tian's salary increase is to let his branches serve as spies for himself, so that no matter who it is, as long as someone comes in or out, he will immediately notice, even if Beiquan is holding a black umbrella, he can't escape the surveillance.
"But you found out that I went out, but you didn't call Zhu Ling up, but sat here chatting with me..."
Beiquan also smiled:
"So, can I think that you are not going to report me?"
Tian Raisen put down the short legs that were sitting cross-legged, and changed to a knee-tuck posture.
This is a signal that he intends to have a good chat with Beiquan.
Beiquan also put away his smile, and his expression became serious.
Tian Jiaxing asked, "Beiquan, what did you tell Xiaowei just now?"
"No, I didn't let him see me."
Beiquan shook his head and explained:
"That fool didn't sleep in the middle of the night and walked around for a long time. I just sent him out of the ecstasy circle."
"Oh~"
Tian's salary increase was silent.
Neither of them spoke, and the silence lasted for a full minute.
"Beiquan, Xiaowei, he likes you."
Tian Jiaxing suddenly said:
"What about you? Do you like Xiaowei?"
This question is too straightforward. Asking it from the mouth of a three-year-old child not only violates the harmony, but also inexplicably feels happy.
"It doesn't matter whether I like him or not."
Beiquan replied:
"The important thing is that he only likes my skin..."
"But you also know that my body is fake, it's not mine at all."
Beiquan raised the corners of his lips and laughed at himself:
"If you want Xiaowei to know what 'thing' I am, you might be scared to death..."
"and many more!"
Tian Jiaxing raised his chubby hand and motioned Beiquan to stop for a while.
"I said Beiquan, did you drill yourself into a ditch?"
He furrowed his shallow eyebrows, and his bun face bulged.
"You are different from us mountain spirits and wild monsters, and the body is not transformed."
Tian Jiaxing pinched his face, and then looked at Beiquan's cold and jade-like face through the hazy moonlight:
"Also, although your body isn't the original one, it's not the one that took the body, so it won't affect you..."
He wanted to say "love", but Beiquan covered his mouth.
"no… "
Beiquan was a little speechless:
"That fool Wei Fuyuan... What he needs must be a normal, ordinary love that can last forever."
Beiquan simply picked up Tian Raising, who was only over ninety centimeters tall, and wrapped him in his arms like a big baby.
The goblin doesn't have the body temperature of a human. It's not too hot to hold in summer, and it feels soft and soft, which can be regarded as a relief.
"But I can't give him this kind of love."
Beiquan sighed softly.
"He doesn't know anything now, that's why he is attracted to me."
"Then... I mean, if..."
"If one day, he knows everything, I'm afraid..."
Beiquan's Adam's apple rolled and swallowed the second half of the sentence he didn't say.
"I'm afraid that I will dislike me" is too weak, too unlike him.
Tian Zaixian, who was sitting in Beiquan's arms, turned halfway and looked up at Beiquan:
"Then why didn't you tell him?"
Beiquan was stunned.
"I am, although I am a little goblin with little knowledge, but I also know a truth, that is, don't make decisions for others casually."
Tian Jiaxing nestled in Beiquan's arms and continued:
"You don't tell Xiaowei anything, how do you know if he can accept it?"
Tian Jiaxing paused, and pointed out the key point:
"To put it bluntly, Beiquan, you're actually just scared, right?"
Beiquan did not open his mouth to refute.
He just silently hugged the raised friend and rested his chin on the other's furry head.
"Um… "
After a long while, Beiquan replied softly:
"I'm really… scared."
He was afraid that Wei Fuyuan would know that he was an old monster who brought back his soul.
He was afraid that Wei Fuyuan would know that he had committed sins and killed people during his lifetime.
And what he is most afraid of is that Wei Fuyuan's admiration will turn into disgust after knowing that his beautiful skin is just a painting of the mirror.
Beiquan couldn't imagine his little assistant looking at his picture with fear, disgust and hatred.
If the price of confession is so painful, Beiquan would rather not see Wei Fuyuan from now on.
At least, he can become a white moonlight in the memory of the other party.
"Tsk tsk tsk!"
Tian Raises his tongue.
"Beiquan, your age is not much worse than mine. You should have an idea, so I won't advise you."
As he said that, he looked up at the gradually sinking crescent moon, and sighed in a milky voice:
"Ask what love is in the world, what is love in the world!"
Beiquan narrowed his eyes and tightened his arms holding the big fat doll.
"A salary increase."
he asked:
"Have you been secretly chasing dramas recently?"
The child with a pay raise realized that he slipped his tongue, and immediately shook his head desperately:
"No! No! I practiced very hard!"
"Oh?"
Beiquan raised his hand and pointed to a vent in the southwest corner of the greenhouse:
"I just wanted to ask, what is that?"
A red osmanthus branch drilled out from the vent, and the branches grew gratifyingly, reaching the window on the second floor of the opposite bookstore.
Tian Jiaxing laughed dryly, "haha", and a drop of cold sweat slid down his forehead.
He said to Beiquan, what kind of eyes are you looking at? He just hid a small router in the osmanthus tree branch and stole the WiFi from the bookstore next door. How could he be discovered like this!
"Anyway, raise your salary and leave me alone."
Beiquan didn't dismantle the tricks in the osmanthus branch, but reached out and pinched his chubby cheek.
Tian Jiaxian covered his face and didn't dare to make a sound.
"You didn't tell Zhu Ling about my going out today, I accept your love."
Beiquan smiled, and the subtext meant that since you covered it up for me, then you will pretend you don't know about the fact that you are stealing the WiFi next door to surf the Internet to watch dramas.
Tian Jiaxing nodded like pounding garlic, and his fluffy hair kept knocking on Beiquan's chin.
The two stopped talking, kept sitting and hugging, and looked up at the moonlight together.
In fact, Beiquan can understand why Tian Shijia, a little goblin who has practiced for a hundred years, has been dazzled by the Huahua World and the splendid prosperity in less than two years.
After all, this world is too beautiful.
As long as they are in it, how many people can truly be unmoved
Thinking of this, Beiquan pressed one hand on his left chest.
Beneath the thin chest wall, a heart was beating at a regular rhythm of sixty-eight times per minute.
Even if this is not his real flesh.
&&& &&& &&&
"Hey, this gentleman, wake up, wake up!"
Wei Fuyuan felt someone tap his shoulder.
He opened his eyes and saw a police officer in uniform.
"It's dawn, don't sleep here. Are you drunk? Can you stand up?"
Wei Fuyuan suddenly woke up and dozed off, turned over and jumped up.
A coat slipped from him and fell to the ground.
Wei Fuyuan: "!!"
He hurriedly lowered his head and picked up the clothes that had fallen on the ground.
It was a pure black coat.
It is not thick, but it is a long-sleeved style that is rarely seen in the midsummer of July.
Wei Fuyuan: "..."
He had seen this dress, and because the person wearing it was Beiquan, he was very impressed.
The police around me are still babbling:
"Isn't it hurt? Is there any discomfort? Check your belongings quickly?"
Wei Fuyuan grabbed the jacket in his hand, did not speak, only nodded to the police.
"That's fine."
The police patted Wei Fuyuan on the shoulder, and then warned:
"If it's okay, then go home quickly."
Wei Fuyuan still didn't speak, just nodded.
After the policeman left, he clasped the thin black coat tightly in his arms and said ruthlessly, word by word:
"Beiquan, you bastard!"
