Embers

Today's morning meeting at Xiaxianmen is still about the leader of the martial arts.

"Since the leader of the martial arts alliance took office, all major and minor matters have been taught to the heads of the various factions to decide, as long as the decision results are reported. Those who say it is the devil's sect are not entirely true. After all, the leader and the devil's religion have not had any contact in the past three years. If you say that the leader's appointment has nothing to do with the Demon Sect, you can't say that, the whole world knows that Nie Budu spent a lot of money to ask the leader to compete for the position of leader at that time..."

The disciples of Xiaxianmen were all deep in thought, and Ember lowered her eyelids and yawned.

Li Mei next to him looked at his side face in a daze.

Noticing his gaze, Ember glanced at him, and quickly withdrew her gaze.

Li Mei bit her lip, her fingers clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, her palms were full of sweat.

Ember stood still for a while, feeling that he was a bit strange today, so she couldn't help but glance at him again.

Li Mei opened her mouth, her face flushed red: "Ember..."

Two words as thin as a mosquito.

Ember waited expressionlessly for his next words.

But he lowered his head again.

"..."

Ember didn't bother to look at him anymore.

After a while, his sleeve was grabbed by a small force again, shaking it gently, like a kitten acting coquettishly.

Ember frowned slightly, but a note was stuffed into her palm.

Li Mei's fingers were cold, and she quickly retracted them after touching Ember. When Ember looked up, she saw him hastily turned his head away, and one of his exposed ears was red.

After a moment of confusion, Ember still put away the note.

Until the morning meeting ended, Li Mei didn't look up at Ember again.

After returning to the yard, Ember unfolded the note hidden in his sleeve.

It was written in Li Mei's slender handwriting, each stroke seemed to be written with a slight trembling.

The above is a very simple sentence: In the future, see you in the peach forest on the northern slope.Li Mei.

Ember read these nine words back and forth several times, and thought about it carefully for a long time, but she didn't realize that there should be any intersection between herself and Li Mei.

But he has always been an activist, and he will go out when the time comes.

Ye Bozhou seldom saw him go out on his own initiative, so he was quite surprised.Ember hesitated for a moment, said that someone was looking for him, and left.

Ye Bozhou was slightly taken aback, and after pondering for a moment, he put down what he was doing and quietly chased after him.

Xiaxianmen is just such a peach forest, on the north slope of Lingyou Mountain.Every spring when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, the eyes are pink, just like the shy cheeks of a girl, so beautiful that it is very suitable for lovers to meet.

It's a pity that all the men in Xiaxianmen are basically alone and have no lovers at all, so this place that should be lively has become the most deserted.

Li Mei chose the location here, which made Ember a little suspicious.

When he arrived, Li Mei had already been waiting there for a long time.

Today, he didn't wear the uniform blue cloth clothes of Xiaxian Sect disciples, but changed into a sky blue long gown, which contrasted with his fair skin and soft and drooping long hair. Standing under the peach blossoms, it was worth admiring.

Ember slowly stopped and looked at him calmly.

Li Mei and him looked at each other for a moment, but still couldn't help lowering their heads, playing with the skirt of their clothes with both hands, and said softly, "You're here..."

Ember felt a little baffled, and stood one step away from him with her chest folded expressionlessly.

"what's up?"

Li Mei swallowed, her cheeks burning hot.Today's embers still look the same, but they are still eye-catching.

"I, I have something to tell you..."

"Say."

When Li Mei's words came to his lips, his heart was pounding, and he couldn't remember what he was going to say for a while, and another sentence came out of his mouth.

"Do you think I look good today?"

"..."

Ember raised her foot and wanted to leave, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of the white fingertips of the person opposite, and after a moment of silence, she reluctantly responded: "...um."

Li Mei raised her head abruptly when she heard his voice, her eyes lit up instantly.

He stared at the embers, and slowly said: "At sunset, the wind blows, and the leaves fall on the branches. If you are loyal, you will not know."

Loyal heart, worry about the unknown!

"..."

Ember's whole body was a little stiff.

After Li Mei said this sentence, it seemed that her courage suddenly returned, and she took a step forward and stretched out her hand to hug Ember's waist.

Ember subconsciously took a step back, letting him hug him.

Li Mei withdrew her hand somewhat embarrassingly, and said in a low voice: "Xu Jin, I like you. It has been eight years since I first saw you."

Ember was motionless.

Li Mei wanted to say something, but opened her mouth, but found that her heart was full of grievances, and her mouth choked up.

Love Ember, it's just so tough.

It was as cold as ice, as if nothing could catch his eyes, and he didn't even want to pay attention to those thoughts full of expectations.

On weekdays, I won't look at you more, let alone smile.

Even to express this feeling, you have to be prepared for a long time.

Because I understand that after he knows, he will not hold you in his arms gently to comfort your sore heart.He just frowned and walked away indifferently.

However, even though he knew that there would be no response, he still looked forward to that tiny possibility like crazy.

He said as a remedy: "I know, I know we are all men, but I can't control my own heart...I..."

Ember turned and left without saying anything.

Li Mei stayed where she was, her face turned pale all of a sudden.He couldn't believe that Ember actually walked so cleanly, without even listening to him finish his sentence.

After a long time, he finally lowered his head, his eyes flushed.

A pure white veil floated down from his head and landed on the ground.

……

With trembling hands, he stooped to pick it up. The handkerchief was clean, and it was covered with the smell of embers.

He squeezed the handkerchief, and suddenly wept uncontrollably.

……

Standing behind the tree, Ye Bozhou was silent for a long time when he saw this scene.

Then, leave without a sound.

……

He could understand Li Mei's feelings at the moment.

For example, every morning, Ember opened her eyes and looked into his eyes.

For example, before going out, Ember handed over an umbrella.

For example, the wild fruit that Ember subconsciously put away.

The kind of gentleness hidden behind the indifference, in the bones, that makes people sink.

Ye Bozhou came back one step ahead of Ember, and Ye Bozhou was already sitting on a stone bench making tea when Ember entered.

Ember walked straight across to him, sat down, took a cup of tea from Ye Bozhou, and drank it down in one gulp.

Ye Bozhou looked at him gently as usual.

After a while, Ember finally spoke: "Master, can the two men be together?"

Ye Bozhou answered this question extremely difficult: "...Yes. Although the world will cast aside and criticize, life is too short. If you only live in the eyes of others, what fun is there?"

Ember's fingers casually rubbed against the rim of the cup.

Ye Bozhou has not been so nervous for many years.

……

"probably."

After Ember finished speaking in a low voice, she stopped talking.

While Ye Bozhou breathed a sigh of relief, he was also a little bit disappointed, but he still smiled quickly, without a trace.

……

……

"Master..."

"Ok?"

"faster……"

"Okay, listen to you."

Ember gasped violently, and let it out in Ye Bozhou's hands.

Ye Bozhou let him lean in his arms, took the handkerchief and wiped his hands.

Ember listened to his heartbeat, and suddenly had a question: "Master, why have I never seen you..."

"..."

Ye Bozhou smiled bitterly silently, and rubbed his chin on his head: "Because..."

Ember waited for his answer.

"...Because you just weren't there when Master felt it." Ye Bozhou said helplessly.

"..."

Ember is not stupid, she wanted to laugh when she heard his answer.Ye Bozhou feigned anger, bit his ear lightly, got out of bed and washed his hands.

Ember looked at his back, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

This 30-year-old man is actually embarrassed.

He thought so, but he obviously underestimated the thickness of Ye Bozhou's skin, so let's not mention it for now.

Let's say that night, it was probably the retribution of laughing at his master during the day, and having erotic dreams as he fell asleep.

It's still a very weird spring dream, the main character - Ye Bozhou.

He dreamed that Ye Bozhou was sitting by the bed, covered in a moon-white coat.The front of the clothes was wide open, and the white and strong chest was exposed, and the black hair was scattered.

There was slight sweat on his forehead, his eyes were half-closed, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly.

His hands, those hands that Ember is familiar with, are moving quickly on his lower body, his fingers are flexible, just like what he usually does for Ember.

It is faintly visible through the fingers, his thing is not small.

His whole body was trembling slightly, his slender legs were bent and straightened again.

After an unknown amount of time, with a low and long sigh, he finally finished his movements.

After venting, his expression was lazy, and there was a touch of sexiness that he couldn't usually see.

He slowly opened his eyes, turned his head, and looked straight at the embers.

"Jin'er?"

Ember woke up with a jolt.

The light was on, Ye Bozhou looked at him, frowning slightly.

"..."

The face was exactly the same, this one was familiar to him in normal times, but the one in his dream could show those seductive expressions that he had never seen before.

True and false, false and real, intertwined.

"Jin'er, why is your face so red?"

As Ye Bozhou said, he stretched out his hand to feel his pulse, thinking that he was suffering from a cold.

Ember looked at his hand, and couldn't help thinking of the scene in the dream again.

He paused, his eyes moved down involuntarily.Ye Bozhou was inexplicable, followed his gaze down, and then also paused.

Looking at him with a half-smile.

"..."
