Yinmao

One afternoon in summer, in the small garden of Arthur's manor, the guards who had always been serious and conscientious on guard kept smiling expressions for the first time, and all looked in one direction. Following those gazes, they found that they were paying attention The target is one of the masters of this family and their boss's precious son.

"Hey, Tuanzi, don't move around!" Kevin didn't pay attention to being a sight in the eyes of others, but said helplessly while holding Nat with his sleeves rolled up.

It's a pity that Nat didn't listen to Kevin at all this time, and always wanted to break free from his hands and run forward.

"Hey, wait until I finish painting your soap balls," Kevin quickly pulled Nat's two short hind legs and dragged it back, and then grabbed Nat's small waist and said, "I'll be there soon!" Okay, wait, don't be in such a hurry."

"Chirp..." Nat, who was covered in foam, was a little upset when he saw Kevin, so he had to stop his movements patiently, but he couldn't help pushing Kevin with his small palm to make him move faster.

"I know, I know, it will be over soon." Kevin nodded and replied while speeding up the movements in his hands.

Three times, five times and two times, Nat was covered with bubbles. Kevin took Nat's small thick waist and took two steps forward, and then put Nat in the small groove. Nat touched the smooth The stone trough immediately revived, and without Kevin's hands, he twisted his little buttocks and turned on the faucet, and then lay down in the stone trough like an old man, letting the water flow towards his belly. He kept chirping and chirping in his mouth, looking very comfortable.

"Oh, it can't be like this. What if water gets into your ears?" Kevin quickly stepped forward to pull Nat up, let Nat stand on his hind legs, and used his hands to guide the water to wash away the soap bubbles on Nat's body. Bubble.

The cool water flow, Kevin's gentle rubbing movements, Nat's comfortable eyes narrowed, and he only opened his mouth and spit out his little tongue.

"Hmph, you're comfortable. I took a bath with you the day before yesterday, and now I'm all dirty." Kevin saw Nat's comfortable look and couldn't help pinching his little ears, and said. .

"Jiujiu." Nat opened his round eyes and rubbed Kevin's hand flatteringly.

"You..." Kevin was the worst coquettish to Nat.

At this time, there was a chuckle behind Kevin. He turned his head and saw that Arthur was standing not far from him and looked at him with a smile. Kevin stood up and wanted to walk towards Arthur, but remembered that he was giving Nat After taking a bath, he squatted back again, only raised his head and asked, "Why did you come back so early today?"

"I have nothing to do, I came back early." Arthur said, walked to Kevin and squatted down, pinching Nat's belly mercilessly, "Are you bathing this meatball again?"

"Well," Kevin nodded, looked at Nat with black and white hair and said to Arthur with a smile, "Look, how clean it is after taking a bath, you didn't see it, just now the dumpling seemed to be rolling from the mound Same, dusty," said Kevin with a distressed expression, "I don't know if it's because the dumplings have grown up and love to run around more and more, and they always get dirty."

"Maybe." Arthur looked at Nat, who had been shrinking his head and looking away because of his arrival, with special meaning, "After taking a bath, go back to the house. The afternoon sun is also shining, so I went in first. .”

"Got it." Kevin nodded.

After Arthur left, Nat regained his energy, holding the faucet and refusing to let it go, Kevin was so tired that he rinsed it clean, and finally held it and ordered a guard to send Nat to Abu before he beat it. Back into the house.

"Why are you sweating so much?" When Kevin entered, Arthur came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, and looked at the sweaty Kevin for a moment.

"Isn't it a dumpling? It's really hard to catch it and take a bath honestly. I'm almost exhausted. It would be great if it could be kept clean so that it doesn't have to be tired every other day." Kevin wiped Khan complained.

"Hehe," Arthur smiled, and picked up Kevin's clean clothes and handed them to him, "You should also take a shower, the sweat all over your body must be so uncomfortable."

"Well," Kevin nodded, "we'll go to Daddy and Dad's for dinner after I take a shower."

"Yeah, okay." Arthur nodded.

After Kevin entered the bathroom, Arthur stood at the window with a glass of iced fruit wine and looked down, only to find that Nat, who was supposed to be sent to Abu, ran back to the sink, turned on the faucet, Then he laid down leisurely in the pool and rushed up, Arthur thought, Kevin's desire to want Nat to be clean and not to take a bath is probably impossible to realize in the short term, but this tap water is indeed a good thing, Kai Wen is indeed the best treasure bestowed by the gods.

Speaking of the appearance of running water, it is also a coincidence. The weather is getting hotter, and everyone does not need to boil hot water when taking a bath. That day Kevin watched the attendants take the water out of the well and pour it into the buckets. , Tired of sweating from trip after trip, he muttered, "It would be nice if there was running water."

"Tap water? What's that?" Arthur, who had sharp ears, heard these words and asked.

"Tap water, just tap water," Kevin wanted to explain, but suddenly he seemed to remember something, slapped his hands and looked at Arthur with sparkling eyes, "Yes, we can get tap water!"

Kevin talked and gestured, and finally let Arthur understand what tap water is and what the faucet is. After listening to Kevin's explanation, Arthur knew that it was a good thing. After all, there are so many people and so much power. It didn't take long for the faucet to be up early and the pipes to be laid. When the faucet was turned on and clean water flowed out, everyone in the manor exclaimed.

After using the tap water a few more times, the people in the manor looked at Kevin in amazement. It didn't take much effort to lift water from the well, just turn the faucet lightly, and the water would rush out of the pipe by itself, and Is there anything better than this?My master is so powerful, he actually knows how to make such an incredible and wonderful thing!

Good things always spread very fast. When the first nobleman who visited the manor discovered the benefits of running water, in midsummer, almost all the homes of the nobles in the main city were equipped with running water. When everything was Kevin, everyone was taken aback.So far, the look at Kevin is no longer contemptuous or contemptuous, but more thoughtful and slightly amazed.

Arthur is very satisfied with this result. To be honest, if it wasn't for Kevin, Arthur wouldn't care whether those shallow nobles used tap water or not!

"What are you looking at?" Kevin asked casually when he found Arthur looking out the window with a smile on his lips after coming out of the bathroom refreshed after taking a shower.

"It's nothing," Arthur turned his head and smiled, walked to Kevin's side, Arthur took his hand and sat down beside him, "Are you happy today?"

"Happy," Kevin nodded when he heard Arthur's routine greeting, "I don't have any troubles, what's wrong with me?"

"Then are you ready?" Arthur put his arms around Kevin from behind, resting his chin on Kevin's shoulder and whispered into his ear.

"Preparing for what?" Kevin didn't react for a while.

"You don't remember?" Arthur raised his eyebrows when he heard Kevin's rhetorical question.

"Remember what——" Kevin turned around wondering what Arthur should remember, but when he touched Arthur's dissatisfied face, he immediately reacted and clapped his hands, "Ah, yes, your birthday, It's your birthday in a few days, right?"

"Why do I feel that you have paid less and less attention to me since we became a partner?" Arthur looked at Kevin who had just remembered, and complained.

"Hey, that's not the case." Kevin waved his hand with a guilty conscience, and put a hand on Arthur's shoulder flatteringly, "You just mentioned this matter suddenly, I didn't react for a while before I asked you , I really remember it in my heart."

"Then are you ready to celebrate my birthday?" Arthur asked, not intending to let go of Mr. Kevin, who seemed to care less about him.

"Uh..." Kevin choked for a moment, then rolled his eyes, clapped his palms and said confidently, "Since it's my birthday, of course it's going to be a surprise. If it's revealed earlier, what kind of surprise will there be? Oh, anyway You just have to wait patiently until that day, trust me, okay?"

"Really?" Arthur still couldn't believe it.

"Of course," Kevin said firmly, "If you don't feel pleasantly surprised when the time comes, I'll punish you whatever you want."

"Okay, remember that what I want is a surprise, something special, something unique." Arthur urged again.

"Got it," Kevin didn't want to get entangled in this topic any longer, and stretched out his hand to pull Arthur up, "Let's go to Dad's side, Daddy and Dad must be waiting for us to help, don't just sit here. "

Seeing Kevin's change of subject, Arthur didn't say anything, just smiled and let Kevin lead him to his father's house, but for the birthday gift, Kevin felt that he could still look forward to it.

Perhaps it was because of the anticipation that Arthur felt that those heavy official duties did not seem so exhausting. When it was his birthday, Arthur happily let Kevin hold his hand Taking himself to the hall, after seeing the room full of people, Arthur froze for a moment, turned his head to look at the enthusiastic Kevin who was smiling beside him with a half-smile, "Is this your surprise?"

The nobles who came to congratulate, the newly decorated hall and the attendants in new uniforms were busy in the hall. Arthur looked up, down, left, and right three times, but he really didn't find any difference between this and his birthday party last year.

"Of course not." Kevin looked very confident, and whispered to Arthur, "You are the patriarch and the general, isn't this kind of banquet a must, my surprise is not this, you perform it first That's your duty now, and you'll be surprised later." Having said that, Kevin's face suddenly turned red.

Glancing at Kevin's red ears, Arthur's feeling of disappointment from seeing such a scene improved, and he turned his head to show a formulaic smile to the nobleman who came to talk to him, "Thank you very much for coming to participate. My birthday party..."

Perhaps the banquets of the upper class are like this, no matter what the nature is, in fact, it is the same every year, the magnificently decorated hall, the extremely busy attendants, the nobles with the same faces every year, everyone greets each other, laughs, exchanges feelings, see It seems like going to work is the same, which is boring and tiring.

In fact, Arthur has begun to get tired of this kind of banquet, but perhaps because of the surprise he is about to know, or because he has Kevin by his side this time, Arthur suddenly feels that facing the flattery and flirting with those nobles is not easy. Not so annoying anymore.

After staying with Arthur for a while, Kevin was called by Heller to help, leaving Arthur alone to face the sycophant and smiling nobles. After a while, Arthur found an excuse to go to a place where no one was there to breathe.

"Mr. Arthur, let's elope?" As soon as he reached the side door, Arthur was pulled aside by a force, and a familiar voice sounded next to his ear, and then turned his head, facing Kevin's Bright smile.

"Elope?" Arthur faintly understood something in his heart, and there was an interesting smile on his face.

"Yes, elope," Kevin nodded, and took Arthur's hand again, "Mr. Arthur, would you like to elope with me?"

"Of course, it's a great honor." Arthur didn't make Kevin wait too long, he raised the corners of his lips and gave an affirmative answer.

Kevin smiled even brighter when he saw this, pulled Arthur and walked quickly aside.

The two bypassed the guards, walked out of the manor, and ran directly towards the forest.

It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive at the entrance of the forest in the carriage that Kevin had prepared in advance. Kevin took out a package from the carriage and pulled Arthur with one hand, "So, let's elope into the forest go!"

"Follow your wishes." Arthur, who understood Kevin's meaning, took Kevin's hand and kissed him, then turned and went to the other side of the carriage.

When Arthur came out from the other end of the carriage, what appeared in front of Kevin was already a majestic white tiger.

Kevin grinned when he saw the white tiger, and trotted forward to sit on it. The white tiger let out a low whistle, and ran quickly into the forest. He didn't stop until he reached the small wooden house.

After experiencing the thrill of speed, Kevin got off the white tiger and patted the white tiger's head affectionately, "Thank you, Mr. Baihu, now can I ask you to go to the lake and catch some scarlets for me?" Are the fish coming?"

"Of course." Baihu, who never refuses Kevin's request, replied with a flick of his tail.

"Then, I'll trouble you, I'll wait for you to come back here." Kevin waved to the white tiger playfully and said.

"Wow..." Looking at Kevin who was more lively than in the manor, the white tiger rolled his tail around Kevin's back and turned and ran towards the lake.

When the shadow of the white tiger was no longer visible, Kevin also turned around and returned to the cabin with the package in hand.

When Arthur returned to the cabin with a few scarlet fish, Kevin was already waiting at the door with a smile on his face. Seeing Arthur whose hair was still dripping, Kevin stepped forward to take it with a smile. Feiyu, "Wow, the general is so amazing, he caught so many fish."

"Of course, Mr. Kevin has already spoken, how can I not do my best!" Arthur also joked with Kevin with a smile.

"So, in order to celebrate the general's harvest, I have prepared a surprise!" Kevin grinned, took Arthur's hand and walked into the cabin.

"This is?" Arthur raised his eyebrows looking at the clean cabin and a table of food.

"This is what I prepared for you." Kevin said, looking at Arthur with a smile on his lips, "The birthday party I prepared for you is not a birthday party for a general or a patriarch, but only for For the two of us, it’s just a birthday party I prepared for my partner,” Kevin tiptoed and kissed Arthur on the cheek, “Happy birthday, dear.”

"Thank you," Arthur said with tenderness in his eyes after hearing what Kevin said. After kissing Kevin back, Arthur said sincerely, "I'm really surprised."

"That's good," Kevin's smile hasn't broken since he entered the cabin, he pulled Arthur to sit down at the table, "I just saw that you drank so much wine and didn't eat anything, you're starving, hurry up Eat something to fill your belly." Saying that, he kept putting food on Arthur's plate.

After watching Arthur eat something, Kevin raised his glass and said to Arthur, "Honey, I wish you a happy birthday, I hope you like everything I have prepared for you, and I hope you are happy, happy, and happy in the future." Every birthday, I will spend it with you."

"Thank you." Arthur wiped his mouth and raised his glass. "This is the best gift I have ever received. Because of you, I am happier than before. Thank you so much, dear."

The two wine glasses collided together and made a crisp sound. Arthur and Kevin smiled at each other and drank the glass of wine each.

There is no hustle and bustle of people coming and going, no interruptions during meals, no exhaustion of being vain and submissive with others, only a table of well-matched food and one person you love the most, Arthur I really feel that this is the most comfortable birthday I have ever had.

The two drank wine and chatted. When the wine in the bottle bottomed out, a quiet and warm birthday meal came to an end. Just when Kevin raised his finger to say something, a voice came from the door There was a knock on the door, "Master, it's almost time."

Hearing this sentence, Kevin was stunned for a moment, then smiled regretfully, "Time flies so fast..."

Arthur knew that this was a stolen time, and Lawrence and Heller agreed to Kevin's request to squeeze out such a period of time for the two of them to have a birthday that belonged only to them. Laughing Kevin, Arthur stretched out his hand and held his hand, "One day, I will only spend birthdays with you and Dad every year, without those guests, just us, believe me."

"Well, I know." Kevin nodded with a faint smile, and pulled Arthur up, "Let's go back."

"Okay." Arthur wanted to say something else, but finally nodded, followed Kevin and walked out of the house.

I don’t know how Lawrence and Heller explained it. Anyway, no nobleman said anything about Arthur and Kevin’s halfway departure. By the time the guests returned to their hearts’ content, it was already the climax of the moon, even though they were as energetic as Arthur, After seeing off the last nobleman, he couldn't help pinching the bridge of his nose and let out a sigh of relief.

After Arthur returned to the room, he found that Kevin, who had been back a long time ago, was not there, and there was a huge box in the center of the room. Arthur stepped forward to uncover the beautifully patterned box with some doubts. After reaching the contents, Arthur's hands stopped, and his eyes became a little deeper.

There was nothing else in the box except Kevin in a rabbit suit. The moment Arthur opened the box, Kevin in rabbit ears raised his head and whispered with flushed cheeks, "Honey, this is my birthday present."
