Embers

As if feeling his gaze, Yi Huaizhi raised his eyes, with a faint smile in them.

Ember stared at him silently.

After a long time, Yi Huaizhi broke the silence first: "Why do you want to come to Jiangnan?"

Ember's tone was light: "Inspect the sub-helm."

Yi Huaizhi understood, and asked again: "How many days do you plan to stay this time?"

Originally, I planned to stay for two to three days like going to other branches, and leave after finishing business. After all, the headquarters still has a lot of business to deal with.

But at this time, by accident, he replied indifferently: "Seven days."

Yi Huaizhi's eyes lit up: "What's the matter?"

"not much."

He smiled and said, "Then when you are free, let's go boating? I think you will like the feeling of floating between the sky and the earth with the waves."

Ember stared at him, and gave a soft "hmm".

Ember is used to being silent, and Yi Huaizhi is not a talkative person, so the two quickly calmed down and tasted wine without any embarrassment.

After drinking for three rounds, Yi Huaizhi was already a little tipsy, and his cheeks were stained with a thin blush, reflecting that jade-like appearance, which really echoed the phrase "the peach blossoms on a human face reflect the red".

Before he knew it, Ember put down the cup and looked at him quietly.

Perhaps because of drunkenness, Yi Huaizhi also became more courageous, so he met Ember's eyes straightly, and asked with a smile, "Who are you looking at?"

Ember frowned slightly, and a trace of imperceptible confusion flashed in her eyes.

Yi Huaizhi didn't mind that he didn't answer, he yawned, got up and said: "It's very late, you must be tired after driving all day, let's go back."

Ember paused for a moment, then also stood up.

After leaving the tavern, the pace of both of them was unexpectedly slow.

The rain had stopped, and the two of them walked side by side, occasionally the cloth materials would rub against each other inadvertently, and Yi Huaizhi could hear all the tiny noises clearly.

Looking at it quietly from the corner of the eye, the profile of the man was so beautiful that it was dazzling.

"Why are you insomnia?" he asked.

Ember replied as if casually: "Why are you insomnia?"

Yi Huaizhi laughed twice: "Maybe, it's the same as you."

Ember glanced at him, and saw that he lowered his head slightly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

This was an expression that had never appeared on Ye Bozhou's face.

It was a long road, and the two of them didn't talk much along the way. When they reached the gate of Yi's house, the sky was already slightly bright.

Yi Huaizhi stepped up the steps, but Ember hesitated for a moment, turned around and was about to leave.

"ember!"

Standing still, turning around, the man was looking at him with a slight smile, but he didn't say a word.

Ember took a deep look at him, and walked away slowly.

Yi Huaizhi lightly raised his hand and put it on his shoulder.There seems to be a little more heat than other places.

Ember stayed in the helm all day.

There are accounts to see, people to see, things to talk about, in short, there is no moment of rest.

Even after dark, when Mo Sui passed by, he could still see the lights on in the study.

He knocked on the door and entered the room. Ember stared blankly at the congregation roster, looking a little tired, but not slack.

"In a hurry to go back?"

Ember didn't lift her head: "Stay for a few more days."

Thinking of the figure he saw yesterday, Mo Suixin said like a mirror, "Yes."

When he was about to go out, Ember suddenly said, "Like it?"

Mo Sui naturally knew who he was referring to, turned around and said, "Like, but not."

Ember was silent for a moment, "Go down."

Mo Sui responded and strode away.

Ember tapped her knuckles on the table lightly, frowning slightly.

What should have been dealt with in two days, Ember managed to handle it neatly in just one night, and the efficiency amazed the congregation at the sub-helm.

The next night, he went out again.

On a night without rain, the moon is bright and the sky is full of stars.He flew over the eaves and walls all the way, and arrived at the small bridge accurately.

There was a person beside the bridge, looking at the sparkling lake water, wondering what he was thinking.

Ember sat silently on the eaves for a long time, until the man noticed something, turned his head, and stared at him blankly.

"How long have you been here?"

"Soon." Ember said, floating on the ground.

Yi Huaizhi looked at him and smiled: "Do people who know martial arts like to walk on roofs?"

"Eave fast."

Noticing the envy in his eyes, Ember's eyes darkened, and she took a step forward and wrapped her arms around his waist.

When Yi Huaizhi came back to his senses, he was already on the roof.

The same scenery, appreciated from different places, will produce different beauty.

Embers took him all the way to the roof of the tallest building in town.

Yi Huaizhi looked down curiously, and had a panoramic view of most of the city.

Looking up, the stars are all over the sky, which is different from watching from the ground. Here, it seems that they are all scattered around and within reach.

The arms around his waist were calm and gentle.

He suddenly panicked, afraid that Ember would feel his heartbeat too fast.

"gorgeous."

As if trying to hide his emotions, he pretended to be calm.

Ember let out a low "hmm".

"It turns out that if you know martial arts, you can see such a scene."

Ember looked down at him, and moved closer to him calmly, allowing her body temperature to pass to him through the material of the clothes.

"It's very cold up there," he said.

It was only then that Yi Huaizhi realized that the reason why he wasn't cold was because his whole body was almost leaning against his arms, being warmed by him.

He wanted to say something, but he held back.He was afraid that once he opened his mouth, he would disturb this moment of tenderness.

In the end, the cold was too severe, and he didn't know martial arts at all, fearing that he couldn't bear the cold, so he flew him down.

As soon as he landed, Ember let him go.

Yi Huaizhi paused, and said with a smile, "I've never been shown the stars before."

Ember took a deep look at him.

Those eyes were deep and cold, but there was a trace of intoxicating tenderness.

Yi Huaizhi took a light breath, closed his eyes, raised his chin slightly, and placed a very light kiss on the man's thin lips.

His hands were trembling, his breathing was trembling, and his eyelashes were trembling.

Ember didn't move at all, neither refused nor reached out to hug him.

Just touched the water, just touched the lips, but there seemed to be a kind of itchiness that went straight to the bottom of my heart.

Yi Huaizhi sighed softly, and was about to take a step back to open the distance, but was suddenly surrounded by hands around his waist.

Immediately afterwards, his whole body was pressed into an embrace.

He closed his eyes and said nothing.Ember didn't say anything, just hugged him so hard.

The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the sun is gentle. On a boat, two people sit opposite each other.

Yi Huaizhi looked at his own reflection on the lake, and smiled lightly: "Before, I never regretted that I had such a face."

Ember's rowing action paused.

"But now, I don't know if I should regret it."

He smiled and looked at Ember: "But no matter what, I've been lucky in my life to meet you."

When Ember left, Yi Huaizhi took off the flute from his waist and played a tune to see him off.

The tone was melodious and melodious, and it was a tone that Ember had never heard before.

Later, when he accidentally heard this song again, he learned that it was called "Simu", which was widely circulated in the south of the Yangtze River, for young men to express their love for their loved ones.

But at that time, he didn't pay much attention to the song, he just stared at the man for a long time, got on his horse, and left in a hurry.

Yi Huaizhi slowly put away his smile, and the breeze lifted his sleeves.

He slowly raised the flute in his hand, and played the tune over and over again, the melodious tone hovered between the heaven and the earth, and there was an indescribable loneliness.

At the end of May, Ember returned to the Demon Cult.

Li Mei told him a piece of bad news: the Lishan faction and the Shitian Palace joined forces.

Obviously, Ge Wuyou is a smart person, he has already realized the crisis of the Lishan faction.
