present to the lord

Under the dark blue and quiet night, the crowded crowd, soft and orange lanterns, the village market is very lively.The fireworks show in the human village, such a misty night and bustling crowd, there are many monsters who like to be lively.

The white fox mask, Ah Yin's eyes sparkled with joy, he quickly took the mask handed to him by the man with a smile, flipped through it curiously for a moment, then raised his hand and put it on his face.

"Does it look good?" He tilted his head, the gray-black eyes in the mask were still pure and clear, brighter and happier than the stars in the sky.

The young man was dressed in a light blue kimono, but he wore white rubber gloves on his hands, covering his whole body tightly without any exposed skin.

Although this kind of dress is a bit weird, there is no way to do it. Even if it covers up the skin like this, Fan Haoran dare not relax at all.Looking at the relaxed and indifferent expression talking and laughing with the silver-haired boy, he was secretly vigilant.

He knew how fragile the young man in front of him was.

If Ah Yin hadn't been looking at this kind of firework festival so eagerly, he didn't want this young man to get close to humans.

Putting his hands in his clothes, he bent down jokingly and looked at the young man squatting there fishing for goldfish: "Use your wrists and skillfully control your strength. It's not okay for Ah Yin to be so hasty and rude." He said as if watching a joke. laughed.

"Damn it!" The boy pushed away the mask on his face, and it was an immature and soft boy's face, but when the boy looked up at the man with silky eyes, his expression immediately became alive "Don't gloat over there." He listened to the man's words and tried his best to control the movement and strength of his wrist.

"Ah!" The boy lifted the torn paper net out of the water in frustration, and looked at the red goldfish swimming in the water. His eyes were like those of a cat squatting by the pool. Staring, unwilling and eager to try.

"It's so pitiful." Fan Haoran stretched out his hand and rubbed his drooping hair, bought ten more paper nets, raised his eyebrows and looked at the soft-looking young man under the light, "Look good."

The man walked over and squatted beside him, one big and one small squatted in front of the water basin, both of them looked far better than ordinary people, one was cold and harsh with the biting edge of a blade, the other was immature and soft like a young man.

Fan Haoran caught three goldfish casually and stuffed the remaining paper net into Ah Yin's arms: "Try again."

When the paper nets were broken into holes one after another, and the last one was finally fished out.

"Ah! Look, look, Baijiang, I caught it!" Ah Yin's excitement was beyond words, he grabbed Fan Haoran's wide sleeve and tugged hurriedly, looking at Fan Haoran with excitement.

Fan Haoran wanted to laugh at his kitten-like appearance that he wanted to show off to his owner after catching a fish. He reached out to take the transparent water bag handed over by the owner, and the four goldfish inside were swimming in it. .

Pass it to the young man, hold the young man's hand, and be gentle and patient like a father: "Yes, yes, Ah Yin is really amazing."

"Are you perfunctory?" Ah Yin's cheeks were flushed by the doting tone, and she couldn't let go of the water bag in her hand, she couldn't take her eyes off, "I've grown up, Bai Jiang, don't use this Talk to me in that tone."

"The child doesn't like his father anymore when he grows up." Fan Haoran sighed melancholy, "I remember that Ah Yin was very cute when he was young, and always liked to follow me and call 'Father, Father' with sparkling eyes Look at me. Ah Yin at that time was really, really cute."

The young man was walking on the road back to the mountain, holding a water bag in one hand, and was tightly held by a man's generous palm with the other.Hearing the man's teasing words, his head was about to smoke, he wanted to refute but he didn't know how to say it, he stammered, and finally growled out of embarrassment: "I, I... I didn't! "

But holding the man's hand, he didn't want to shake it off. Instead, he held it tighter because of embarrassment, and still followed the man step by step: "I didn't!" He firmly denied his past behavior.

The stars are bright, the dark blue night breeze blows in the mountains with a slight coolness, and the forest is soaked in the quiet and beautiful moonlight. The forest and the trails in the forest are more charming and mysterious because of the beautiful moonlight.But on such a path in the forest under the beautiful moonlight, the piercingly handsome man was smiling, and he looked back at the silver-haired boy who was being led by him.

The boy has a slender figure, and the fox mask is pushed to the side of his head, revealing the soft facial contours inside.Although he was very angry from embarrassment, he couldn't deny that he was full of attachment to this man in his heart.He knew that he was a child abandoned in the mountains and forests, an abandoned child who no one wanted to feed.

But he was raised by Senshiro. As a monster boy who was fed by monsters, he never thought about whether he had a mother. For him, having Senshiro was enough.

The warmth Senbai gave him was enough to make him ignore everything else.This is very good, no one else, just Sen Bai.

father?

No, Senbai is not such a superficial thing to him.For me, he is not only a father, but also a friend, a master, and a unique person who depends on each other.

- People who will always be together.

"Baijiang." The silver-haired boy's hair was a more elegant blue color in the night, after the boy was silent, he suddenly called the man's name softly.

"Huh?" Fan Haoran led him into the forest beside him, the leaves and dead branches under his feet rustled softly, and he also responded in a low voice with a unique masculine voice.

The young man stopped suddenly, the moonlight shining down from the leaves made the young man's face look indescribably beautiful, with pure and penetrating eyes, such a serious and persistent expression.Seeing his expression like this, Fan Haoran began to realize for the first time in so many years that this young man no longer seemed to be an innocent and trouble-free child.

"Senbai." He had never called these two words, but Ah Yin didn't know why he called out a name at this moment, but the kind of desire in his heart wanted to be more closely connected with the man in front of him, wanted to be closer Accurately grasping, wanting to face the man who raised him as an adult who can take on his own actions, "We, will we be together forever?"

With such persistent and burning eyes, Fan Haoran recalled that not long ago, this child seemed to be a little meaty mound climbing up a tree, or a mischievous little villain who wanted to catch fish in the creek...

But in an instant, that child had grown up to have such eyes.

"Of course at that time." The man who was a father squeezed his hand, and then continued to walk forward, "As a father, I will always be with you until you find a partner."

"Partner?" The young man tilted his head, as if a little puzzled, "Partner?"

"That's natural." Following the words came a breeze that brought the sound of leaves in the forest, with the fragrance of grass and trees, "Does Ah Yin want to spend the rest of his life with an old man like me?" The man smiled. Looking back, Wanse's eyes were very deep in the night, such a mature man's eyes made people's heart a little stagnant, "I want to find a woman who loves Ah Yin deeply and can make Ah Yin happy. But now Ah Yin is still young, don't worry."

"Then what about after?" Ah Yin asked persistently, "What about after, what about after?"

"What?" The man looked over gently with puzzled eyes.

"After finding a partner, what about you, Senbai?" He held the man's bony hand tightly, almost with ruthlessness. It was obviously still far away, but such faintly revealing words of parting still made him uneasy. .

"Me?" Understanding what he asked, he smiled faintly, making it difficult to catch, "Don't worry, Ah Yin, don't worry."

Then he didn't say another word.

Ah Yin was led by him and walked forward under the moonlight.The young man couldn't help but look up at the man's side face which looked even more stunning and stern under the moonlight. His eyes, which had been watching the road ahead, did not shift at all, and he looked firmly ahead.

Such firmness made it difficult for Ah Yin to breathe, as if the man in front of him who had raised him suddenly became far away, so far away that he couldn't reach him.

Only now did he suddenly feel that he didn't understand the man beside him at all.who is he?where is he from?What was his identity before?What does he like?Is there something he wants to do?

What is he... going to do.

It seems that apart from the status of being raised, there is nothing else between the two.Such a tenuous connection that could almost be broken at a tear.

Ah Yin suddenly thought, if this man suddenly disappeared one day, where would he go to find him?He doesn't know if Senbai has any friends besides the mountain god, he doesn't know where Senbai might reach after leaving the mountain god forest, he doesn't know if there are other people who are too close besides himself, he is the only one he raised children?Will he be abandoned, just like his parents abandoned him in the forest.

There are too many uncertain things, and he wants to be with Senbai and never be separated.

Ah Yin, who had been immersed in such uneasy thoughts for the past two or three months, finally caught Fan Haoran's attention.

The man holding the boy with one hand flies through the dense forest, the sound of the wind whistling in his ears, he shuttles perfectly between the giant trees in the forest, it is so exciting that Ah Yin tightly grasps Fan Haoran's skirt, his heart beats violently With the agitation, all the scenes were transformed into phantoms flying backwards. Such a crazy speed made his chest scream and scream, but it was difficult to vent.

Finally stopped, Fan Haoran's expression remained unchanged, he jumped onto the tree, and put the boy who was gasping for breath as if he felt very exciting on the tree.

He jumped lightly, as light as if he had no weight at all, and stood at the very tip of the same branch with a very elegant movement.It was obviously the end of a very fragile branch, but the man stood there without the slightest weight, as if there was only a feather on the branch.

"Does Ah Yin like this?" The man stood there and asked, behind him was a dangerous cliff and the distant sky, and in the distance were several towering mountains surrounded by rain and mist, which was a very wonderful scenery .

But this man didn't want to enjoy the beautiful scenery at all. He just turned his back to the vast and distant world, stared at the silver-haired boy leaning on the tree trunk whose excitement had not subsided, and asked again: "A Yin likes to run in the forest like this?" Do you feel it?"

"I like it, it's so exciting!" Ah Yin has only experienced a rapid run, and now he is still a little hard to recover.

"That's good." Fan Haoran squatted down, finally showing a reassuring smile, and touched the boy's head, as if he was happy to finally make the boy who had been depressed for three months laugh, "I will take you with me when I want to play." come out."

"Are you... worried about me?" Ah Yin was a little guilty, but his wild thoughts made him worry, and he blamed himself, he lowered his head obediently, and revealed his heart, "I'm just..." He seemed to find it difficult to speak and paused .

Watching the boy quietly, waiting patiently for him to calm down, he looked at the immature boy in front of him tenderly and tolerantly. Whether it was physically or emotionally, this child was too immature, hadn't grown up, and hadn't yet grown up. Not solid.

"I just want to be with Sen Bai forever!" He took a breath and said, "I don't want anyone else, if you have someone else, you will definitely leave! I just want to be with Sen Bai, fishing and drinking together , together at the summer festival, gather among monsters hand in hand, and spend the years to come together! I just want this, and I don’t want anyone else!"

The young man with clear and ignorant eyes said firmly that he just wanted this.

On the giant tree on the top of the cliff on the top of the mountain, under the vast sky, between the rainy and foggy peaks.The boy who will turn into a monster said to the man standing at the end of the branch like an unfathomable undercurrent in the deep sea: "If you want Senbai to be like this, just look at me alone, smile at me alone, and hold me alone." Human hands, as long as this is the case, don’t want anyone else.”

The man with short light pink hair sighed helplessly. After a while, he had no choice but to pamper this child whom he had raised and wished him happiness: "It's really a childish way of saying it."

"How can I be self-willed!" Ah Yin was like a spoiled animal, "I don't want others, I want to be with Sen Bai forever!"

"You should call him Father, Ah Yin." Fan Haoran went over and hugged the boy comfortingly, "You can't just call him by his name."

"But I've grown up." Ah Yin was uncompromising, he wanted to get closer to Sen Bai, and he would no longer be treated as a child.

"But calling me my father has nothing to do with you growing up."

"It doesn't matter anymore? I want to call you like the mountain god!"

The author has something to say:

I was wondering whether to find another monster for Ah Yin...

After all, Fan Haoran is leaving that world
