linked to the collar

On the first day of the new year, Xiao Ran woke up in Bai Ye's arms.

Maybe it's because he fell asleep in the early hours of this morning, or maybe it's because the fireworks and firecrackers were set off in the middle of the night. When Xiao Ran woke up, he was a little confused, shaking his head on his back, and Bai Ye ate enough tofu while dressing him He also had no ability to resist, so he let him get whatever he wanted in Bai Ye's arms.

When Shi Er came in with his toiletry set, he saw their second master grinning in a particularly contented manner, and the third master who refused to lift his head from his arms—uh, second master, your hand Can it be pulled out from the third master's robe!And third master, can you tie your collar a little higher, so there are no mosquitoes that bite people this season!

Shi Er lowered his head and waited for the two masters in front of him to be sticky and finished grooming, then he hurriedly carried his things and ran out as if fleeing.

Bai Ye found a thick fox fur cloak for Li Ran, covered him from head to toe, and stuffed him with a small hand stove to warm his hands. He took a step back and looked him up and down, feeling satisfied. Then he took Xiao Ran's hand and went out the door.

Go straight to the gate, where Laifu has already prepared the carriage and waits, and Kexi is standing on the side with a food box in his hand, and there is a bigger one at his feet.Seeing the two people coming out, Huanxi walked forward and An Dao said a few auspicious words, then lifted the curtain of the car and carried all the food boxes into the car with Shi Er who came out.

Bai Ye pulled Xiao Ran to the side, and when the two children finished everything, he took out two red envelopes from his arms, threw one to the two, and did not forget to send a letter to Laifu before getting on the carriage.

Although it was early in the morning, there were quite a lot of sedan chairs and carriages heading towards Qingniu Palace, and there were still many people walking on the street, so the carriages couldn't go fast.Fortunately, the two people in the car were not in a hurry today. Xiao Ran really woke up just after being blown by the cold wind. Thinking of the gaffe in the room before, now he doesn't know whether to blame Bai Ye who took advantage of the fire or hide himself. Strange, it's so early in the morning on the first day of the new year...

I must still be led astray by this lunatic Bai Ye, Bai Ye, who pushed his face away with his hands covered in his hands and salivated, must have thought of it in Bai Ye's mind.

Bai Ye smiled very happily, what day is today?New Year's Day!He has received so many benefits early in the morning, oh, he really believes that this year will be a very happy year.

Pulling Xiao Ran who was still blushing to his side, he coaxed him to drink gruel and half a piece of omelette that was still warm, until Xiao Ran shook his head and couldn't eat any more, Bai Ye took all the rest finish eating.

After being entangled all the way, they almost reached the intersection of Qingniu Palace.The carriage came to a slow stop, and Kuxi coughed first, and then slightly raised a gap in the door curtain. "Second Master, there are too many people on this road. Lai Fu said that it would take more than half an hour to squeeze in. Look..."

Bai Ye didn't care, he looked at Xiao Ran and asked Xiao Ran's opinion, Xiao Ran opened the curtain and looked out, then shook his head. "There are really a lot of people, why don't we go in too?"

So Laifu parked the car in an alley, Bai Ye pulled Xiao Ran, followed closely by Shi Er Kui Xi.

Qingniu Palace is the most incense-filled temple in the city, and it is full of people on weekdays, not to mention it is a special day like today.Not to mention the flow of people that almost made people unable to walk, just the stalls that almost crowded both sides of the street made Xiao Ran feel a little bit regretful.

It was not the first time for Xiao Ran to come here to offer incense on the first day of the new year. When he was young, his father would lead his two mothers and his eldest brother to the temple to offer incense. Later, when he came to Wuzhou City, when Qionghua was still in good health, He also once came here with Qionghua to offer incense on the first day of the new year, praying for a year of happiness.

But after Qionghua left, he never offered incense before the fifth day of the new year, and he didn't know why. Maybe, if he didn't have someone who was happy with him, he wouldn't be in any mood.

Life is going to go on, but that kind of anticipation is gone.

This year is the first New Year when he and Bai Ye are together in a serious way, and he suddenly has this mood of burning incense. He wants to kneel in front of the Bodhisattva with Bai Ye, even if their relationship will not be recognized by heaven, but No matter good or bad, no matter what, he wants to go hand in hand with this man to the end, from the first day of the first month to the 31st of December, every day, every year.

It's a pity that this flow of people really made Xiao Ran a little helpless, not to mention that the person next to him deliberately took advantage of the crowds to grab his hand and intertwined his fingers so that he wouldn't let go.Although most people in Wuzhou City know about the two of them, they know that they know it. It's like this on the real street. Xiao Ran still can't learn Bai Ye's meaninglessness. He blushed a long time ago and lowered his head and just followed the front people crowded.

At first, Bai Ye was quite happy. You see so many people, I won't grab you, what if you get separated?What if I don't hug you and I can't find you in a while?

But it wasn't long before he was happy, and the flow of people who were always bumping against him also made him feel uncomfortable. When was his dignified second master of the Bai family so embarrassed?Regardless of Xiao Ran's struggle, he hugged him and jumped onto the roofs of the houses on both sides, walking all the way, until he jumped down at the gate of Qingniu Palace.

I bought joss sticks, and I didn't care about the cute and Shier who didn't keep up, and I just walked in the door as soon as I pulled people up, and I didn't care about the eyes of others.

How many people don't know about the matter between him and Xiao Ran after He Ruhui's fuss?There are always people who defend the Tao, and some people still don't want to see the two of them, and some of them even had a good relationship with Xiao Ran, and now they haven't seen each other for a long time.What saddened Xiao Ran the most was that there were two of his former students who publicly stated that they would never have anything to do with Xiao Ran again.At that time, although Xiao Ran said that he understood their choice, but his face was ugly for a few days, which could be seen by everyone.

But what makes people feel gratified is that more people choose to understand and accept. He and Xiao Ran walked on the street with more friendly smiles, especially those of older girls and younger daughters-in-law. Every time they saw the two of them walking Laughing together is extraordinarily frightening.The business of Xiao Ran's bookstore was a little slow for two days, but it didn't take long for it to return to its original state, and there were not a lot of literati who came to his store to read and chat.

After paying homage to God Erlang and Maitreya, Bai Ye and Xiao Ran walked together slowly to the main hall, where there was enshrined Tathagata with benevolent eyebrows and slightly downcast eyes.Bai Ye let go of Xiao Ran, and the two of them knelt down in front of the Buddha, clasped their hands together, prayed and bowed three times.Bai Ye's movements were relatively quick, or it should be said that he thought simply.

Firstly, I wish him and Xiao Ran good health and all the best, secondly, I wish him and Xiao Ran peace and happiness together for a hundred years, and thirdly, I wish him and Xiao Ran all the best. Good health and good luck.

After three prostrations, he stood up, offered incense, and looked back to see Xiao Ran still kneeling on the futon, that pious appearance made Bai Ye feel both pitiful and loving.

After three worships, Xiao Ran opened his eyes, offered incense, and met Bai Ye's eyes as soon as he turned his head, so focused, as if he was standing there waiting for him to find him.Xiao Ran couldn't help laughing, and took the initiative to grab Bai Ye's sleeve. "Shall we go back after eating vegetarian noodles?"

Bai Ye followed Xiao Ran to the cafeteria, he was not familiar with Qingniu Palace at all.He didn't believe in gods and Buddhas, if Xiao Ran hadn't said that he wanted to come to incense, he wouldn't have stepped into this kind of place.

The plain noodles of Qingniu Palace are very good. Fresh mushrooms and seasonal ingredients, as well as toppings made of clean vegetable oil, together with hand-rolled thin noodles, are perfect for picky eaters like Bai Ye. Satisfied to eat a big bowl.After eating and drinking enough, Bai Ye became sleepy, and dragged Xiao Ran, who still wanted to walk, onto the carriage.

The most pitiful ones were Kuixi and Shier, who managed to squeeze into the Qingniu Palace to find the two who had eaten noodles, and they were urged to return home before they could take a breath.

On the way back, it was much quieter. Bai Ye leaned on the soft pillow to rest his eyes and closed his eyes. He still hugged Xiao Ran who was also sleepy in his arms. It was so quiet that Lai Fu didn't dare to raise his whip.

Halfway through, Bai Ye suddenly remembered something and pushed Xiao Ran to wake him up.

"Xiao Ran, what did you beg for for a long time just now?"

Xiao Ran refused to say it at first, and it would not be effective to say what he prayed for, but how could it compare to Bai Ye's entanglement?After a toss, they fell into Bai Ye's arms and said obediently.

"First, I wish your family good health and everything goes smoothly. Second, I wish all my friends happiness and health. Third, I wish the country and the people are safe and the world is blessed."

Bai Ye's face became a little unhappy when he heard this, and when Xiao Ran finished speaking, he immediately turned dark and let him go to the side. "Don't deny that you're a nerd. How can there be someone like you praying? Don't you miss me? Thanks to me..."

Halfway through the speech, he felt a little childish, but the suffocation in his heart made him unable to act as if nothing had happened, so he could only turn his face away and pretend to be looking at the roof of the car.

After a while of silence, someone took his hand lightly and squeezed it tightly. "It's not what you think... I, I have one last request..."

"What did you ask for?"

"..." The voice was so soft that it almost rang close to Bai Ye's ear. "...I, I told the Bodhisattva, I pray for the blessings of the world, and the merits I have accumulated do not seek the afterlife nor the wealth and luxury of this life, but I hope to join hands with you until I grow old. I will always pray for the world, but I hope that the Bodhisattva can If you can pity Xiao Ran and be sincere, let us be safe and happy for the rest of our lives..."

Xiao Ran blushed so much that he couldn't speak anymore, even Bai Ye blushed at this moment, holding Xiao Ran's hand behind his back and blinking, he didn't know whether to express his excitement or happiness.

No one spoke again, but no one was willing to let go of the tightly clenched hands.
